Bus Fare

TTC is ON STRIKE! AGAAAAAAAIIIINNNN!

And they just raised fare prices?
Why? To improve service.
Yeah, more frequent up the behind service to all the folks that use the Toronto public transit.


So at 6:15AM we're on our way to dropping mamma off at work. On our way to the hospital we saw that people were standing on the corners wondering

"Wok da eck? No bus?"

We live in an ethnically diverse city, so the accent was thick when Torontonians were thinking this. Did you that in Toronto, Asians are now the majority population.

People were flagging down taxis, just to get to work. Look on the bright side, today is supposed to be a scorcher and with the TTC strike you won't have to sit beside some big smelly oaf or oaf-ette.

As I walked into the hospital to get a Tims medium coffee and a butter croissant, people were gathering and talking about it. Mostly the women, to gripe and complain about having to cab it to work. It was focused bitterness.

Guess it gave them something new to chit chat about at the watercooler, instead of complaining about work or their husbands, boyfriends or lesbian lovers, or their dog chewing on the latest designer find at Winners.


People were biking, walking and on cellphones to let their employers know that they would be late. Or to find out if buses and trains were running or not.









Kieran was going to make sure that Daycare knew he would be a little late coming in today because of the strike.
He didn't want them to worry.
