rfmcdonaldAt present, the Toronto Transit Commission is facing a slew of problems. Will the Ontario provincial government take it over and merge it into a wider regional transit network? How can the TTC work with other transit organizations in the region? Will there always be enough money to run it?
So, keeping all this in mind, I was a bit upset to find a posting made this morning on the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
toronto community called "TTC employees are lazy". This post describes, at length, the methods that the author used to scam the TTC and travel for free for one month. Things like that will work nicely to hasten the day when the TTC decides to close down the Sheppard line to slow down the bleeding.
(By the way, if the TTC workers were anything, it probably wasn't lazy: TTC drivers suffer from a higher rate of post-traumatic stress disorder than the police. Their fault for picking this line of work, I suppose.)
