- Jeff Jedras: Riders not welcome on Toronto transit
Most cities want people to take public transit. They see value in getting people to park their cars and take the bus or subway. They even encourage such behaviour. Not so in Toronto. In Toronto, transit users are an annoyance to the transit system, something to be barely tolerated, and even loathed.
Yes, the Toronto Transit Commission is set to hike fares again, and I don’t mean by a little. They’re proposing major fare hikes that will, bizarrely and stupidly, hit Metropass holders the hardest.
The cash fare for a single trip is proposed to rise by a quarter, fro, $2.75 to $3. Token fares would also go up by a quarter, from $2.25 to $2.50. A weekly pass would rise from $32.25 to $36. And the big daddy, a monthly Metropass, would skyrocket from an already pricy $109 to a ridiculous $126.
The problem, according to the TTC? It seems too many people are taking transit. The horror!

well holy fuck. Fuel costs are up, electricity costs are rising, the cost of living rising, and you mean to tell me that the cost of transporting people is rising by a quarter a ride???
ReplyDeleteWell fuck me, the socialists are outta control I say. The damn socialists are responsible for rising costs of everything aren't they.
Get another case a beer there whiner. I bet you're also the dipshit who'll scream cut the services aren't ya. Cause you just don't give a shit about anyone but yourself.
Typical narcissistic righteous righter.
