The 60C bus rattles loudly down Yonge Street as I sit in a scotch induced haze; I’m heading home after a long night in the studio. I’m sitting in the back half of the bus, staring at a middle-aged Asian man with a curly, black mullet and a brown leather jacket. He seems suspicious to my keen sense for the unusual.

Please note: “fair is correctly spelled fare in the case of the TTC.”

What a shame the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is hiking fairs, again. With the low, low price of $3.00, you can travel the city. You can go to the glorious Korean shops up at Yonge and Steeles, you can go to see a colourful array of humans in Scarborough, you can shop at The Eaton Centre, you can see the beautiful red brick solid homes of Etobicoke. All this for $3.00 CDN – what a deal! Read the rest of this entry »

I, like many, spend most of my time getting around Toronto by way of public transit. Sure, it gets me to where I want to go, but at what cost. It seems a though a day doesn’t go by without there being some sort of delay on the subway. If it’s not a delay it’s the poor customer service or long wait times. I can’t believe I pay for such a service. Read the rest of this entry »

The Temptation to Buy a Car

In Business, cars, Culture, Education, Entertainment, Environment, Events, Health, Living, Media Writing, Opinion, Technology, Writing (all kinds) on November 23, 2009 at 9:10 PM

Living in Toronto is difficult without a car. With all of this H1N1 flu virus talk going around, you cannot even cough on a bus without someone thinking you have been infected. Plus with the way the TTC has been running over a long period of time now, it seems ridiculous that now TTC wants to hike up the fees to $3 CDN, from $2.75.
