Atticus Dachsel Kerr has been posting mini-reviews and reflections from bus routes 1 to 88 on his Instagram account
Atticus Dachsel Kerr likes taking the bus, so he decided to take all of them — at least in Greater Victoria.Now he’s just wrapping up posting about each journey on his Instagram account, with mini-reviews and reflections on his bus rides.
While he’s not the first person with that idea — transit fans around the world have done similar journeys in their own systems — Dachsel Kerr reckons he’s the first to document the entirety of Greater Victoria’s transit system. There are a few neighbourhoods that have retained their routes due to community advocacy and now have infrequent service, he said, citing routes 13 and 43 as examples.
Some routes have been around for a long time, while busy route 15, which runs between Esquimalt and UVic, didn’t exist 10 or 15 years ago, he said. Even though he knew that route 64 from Sooke to Langford takes about two hours from end to end, Dachsel Kerr was still surprised by the breadth of communities that it serves.
Dachsel Kerr, who will be at UVic taking a double major in music and mathematics this fall, said he’s often asked why he isn’t going into civil engineering or urban planning.
