This Week In News

It has been another interesting week in the news here in Toronto :

1) Sam Sniderman aka Sam the Record Man died

See previous post 


2) Another TTC fare hike has been announced:

Seriously??? How much more are we going to be expected to pay? It seems every year their is another fare hike and its getting ridiculous. The service in my opinion has NOT improved. Sure we got the new subway cars on the Yonge/University/Spadina line  which yes has helped a lot during those peak rush hours,but in terms of the actual "service" and delays it has not improved in the slightest. What has changed every time their is a fare hike? Where are the funds from the increase actually going? I know its been stated they need to raise fares to pay off their debt but still its going to hurt the millions (like myself) who rely on the TTC to get from point A to point B every day.

What about people living on welfare?How are they going to be able to keep affording to take the TTC if the fares keep going up?  What's really funny is that if you read the comments on the article from  The Star online our transit system is considered a joke  compared to other cities around the world. Come on TTC.... prove you really are "The Better Way".


Also coming up this weekend in blog entries a full report on The Markham Fair which happened this weekend.
