I went to my local 7/11 to pick up some tokens only to find out that they were out! So I had to use cash fare instead which is quite annoying.
As I was driving I heard on the radio that TTC collectors are now only allowed to sell 5 tokens per customer as opposed to 10 as was said last week.
Who else thinks this is ridiculous?
This is all in an effort to prevent people from hoarding tokens after hearing of a potential fare increase . Please TTC give us a break ! Torontonians who rely on the TTC daily should not have to pay the price because they are facing a budget crisis or whatever it is they are dealing with and putting the brunt of it on the riders. Go Tranist announced this morning it was putting a freeze on fare hikes because ridership is down , well who's to say that wont happen with the TTC? On Facebook an event called Rider Strike Day is supposed to take place this friday where people will refuse to take the TTC . What do you think? My main concern is the stupid restriction on Token purchasing ....
What else do you expect from the TTC , we have no choice it seems as we rely on it as one of our main sources of transportation so we somewhat accept these fare hikes and restrictions because we need to use it. I think its unfair....and I know many torontonians feel the same way. It's time for the city council to get involved (even though they probably won't) to help put a stop to this nonsense...
That is ludicrous. It is so aggrevating lining up to buy tokens so often, and even more aggrevating that the fare is going up again. If people want to hoard 10 tokens per day, I think they should have every right to do so.
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS RIDICULOUS!!ARE THEY FREAKIN' KIDDING?!!!
