    What drives me nuts about the ttc, isnt the slow service, it has nothing to do with the fact that: rather than keeping up with posted schedules, they just took down the schedules. or that the price continues to go up (it was 2.25 less than 4 years ago) .

    its the fact they b*** whine and moan about money problems, when EVVVVVVVERY CENIMETRE of the ttc is COVVVVERRRED in ads. From Colgate to whatever the f*** "Kudoo" is , its everywhere, on the outside of streetcars, inside of streetcars, outside of busses, inside of busses, inside trains, on the poles between tracks, on the TURNSTILES (one stop, union I think, the turnstiles are bread slices :S , the FLOORS have ads, even the STAIRS! They are not even a FLAT SERFACE but there is still ads on them. But they don�t have enough money?
    IF they have money woes, why don�t they charge "Koodo" an extra 10%!?. Corporations are no NOT going to pay for ad space! Its the TTC!! in fact, them striking would have lost them ad money, due to lack of PEOPLE to advertise too obviously. And as their service gets worse, and the weather gets better, they are getting less people and worth LESS money.
    Stop charging us, stop asking the government for money, and use the money you get for wh**ing yourself out to companies.

    The real cost of public transit is well over 3 bucks a person per trip in Canada, I remember reading the last budget statement in Calgary where the city only gets back 55% of the cost from passenger fares, the rest is funded through things like property taxes. In Calgary the adult fare just went up to 2.50. 8O Public transit is a public service and makes no money.
