Transit Rider Has A Suggestion For TTC

This voter doesn't understand the political and leftist mindset in Toronto.....saving nickels and dimes is not considered a viable part of solving the fiscal mess we are in.

Finding efficiency

Seven. That's how many times Joe Mihevc uses the words efficiency/efficient in his 600-word piece decrying the underfunding of the TTC ("TTC would be better way with proper funding," Aug. 27). You'd think that a guy going on about "efficiency" would be a bit more efficient about it. But, OK, I get his point: The TTC is really, really, really, really -- well, you know, efficient! So give it more money, you dumbass taxpayers! I have just one question for Mihevc, Wouldn't the TTC be even more efficient if it dumped the $55,000 a year lardbutts who read books or post "Be Back Soon" signs in the collector booths at subway stations? I mean, c'mon. York region's VIVA system automated that stuff ages ago. In the name of efficiency.
