I'm not sure if it's a labour issue. I read it in the paper today and it's mainly a security issue for the drivers. Drivers these days are being assulted by irrate passengers when they are questioned about their fairs (not enough $) and transfers (expired time). Correct if I'm wrong.

its to bad that its that way in Canada (GTA specifically here), a better transit system I think would cost people less money, be better for the environment, and clear up the roads...

if possible, and didn't take me like 150% longer, and was cheaper, I'd gladly take public transit, chance to relax in the morning instead of driving with morons (I'd rather save driving for weekends and such when its more enjoyable, and better suited)...

if you were allowed to punch the driver in the face, i think they would get a lot more business.

my main issue with the ttc was always with the people with BO and how dirty some of them can be.

at least when you look like a squigee kid, people tend to stay away.

The only time I will willfully take the subway/bus is going dowtown assuming I'll be drinking and take a cab back.

haha, they probably would, but I'm sure the drivers would be even more upset....and then you'd have to pay them more, then it would turn into paying 50$ to punch someone in the face and a bus ride, just a messy situation...lol
