I made it a point to sit across from her today on the train. I was hoping her friend would show up so I would have a front row seat to watch and listen to what physical ailment would be discussed this morning, but her friend didn't show.
Instead, the guy behind me got busted during a fare check for not having a ticket. The fare inspector asked him to stand up and show her his pockets because he claimed to have no I.D. or wallet. He refused.
Let me stop here for a second. At this point, the train was idling at Ajax. I think this was when the inspector should have radio'ed the CSA, had the doors be opened and this gent should have been escorted off the train.
Instead, she gave him this big, long lecture about fare abuse and the penalties and fines, had him write out his information on a piece of paper, called it in and let him ride the rest of the way - FOR FREE - to Union.
Smooth.
Big whoop. A lecture. She should have turfed his arse off the train.
ReplyDeleteWow. There should have been a fine with that lecture, whilst being booted from the train. No wonder GO has no money.
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me this wasn't the guy's first run-in. Wonder how many different names he's given. CSAs should carry tablets with face detection software and when dishing out warnings and tickets, they could snap a photo to identify repeat offenders.
ReplyDeleteSilly CJ. Doncha know as a grifter-donkey he is entitled to MORE leeway than the average rider? Its in the secret GTTA/GO Donkey Bylaw Amendments and Protocols of 2002.
ReplyDeleteGood point CJ... instead of a lecture or warning, why don't they just escort people off the train? I think that would be a better threat!!
