The more I think about it the more I think hospitals might be the single most important resource to be well connected by transit. Healthcare is the great equalizer in the sense that everybody needs to access it - rich, poor, young & old. In fact you could argue those who access healthcare the most are those who are least likely to be able to drive there.
Very odd comment.

Yes there are people commuting. Maybe alcholics who lost their license for example. The point is a bus can go to anywhere. Vehicular acess should be a more important factor. The freak out about the Autoroute 5 risked even killing the project. It was the same nonsense arguments in Ottawa pushing Tunneys. Asticou isn't exactly easily accessible by bus either. Hopefully we jump on this though Gatineau and really Quebec's healthcare woes are not easily solved with infrastruce alone.
