That's the "system" for you. That's what we get for living in a prepackaged and "spoon-fed" society, no? Consider that most of what we use and most of where we go is essentially "by default" and you realize: More often than not one "has to take whatever society, the merchants, the industries, the churches, and the charities have to offer".
I pay nearly $20 a day to get to work from Oshawa to Union where someone can ride the TTC from its furthest point west to its further point east for $3 or $3.10 / slightly less with a token. So that's about 40 kms for less than $3.25.
It took people coming from Milton over 6 hours to get to work this morning due to cancelled trains and waiting for buses. What's the fare for Milton to Union? It ain't $3.25.

i've seen the same dirt on the richmond hill trains for at least a year...
ReplyDeleteWhat do you want, low fares or clean trains? Can't have both.
ReplyDeleteLow fares? Really?

There's nothing low about GO.
What on earth is Tal Hartsfeld on about???
ReplyDeleteReminds me: I need to email DRT and tell them to sweep the salt out of their window frames (on the inside), else it'll cause no end of rust issues...
