Public transit is now going to be more crowded, less serviced and (likely) more expensive
With TTC vehicles about to get a little more crowded (or, you know, “friendlier”), Peter Milczyn is suggesting that a 15-cent fare hike could stave off some of the cuts. But TTC chair Karen Stintz counters that the hike will be no higher than 10 cents—she thinks people are more concerned about increased fares than decreased service (we’re pretty sure they’re concerned about both). Meanwhile, the province is sticking to its tight-fisted policies regarding funding Toronto transit. After NDP MPP Jonah Schein asked for more provincial dough, municipal affairs minister Kathleen Wynne said, “The city of Toronto created the situation in which it finds itself and the city of Toronto is going to have to talk among [itself] and figure out how it’s going to resolve its issues.” The city of Toronto also has several choices for which politician it resents the most now.

Wynne makes a good point… Let’s hope that those doughnut dwellers affected by transit (and other) cuts, “talk among themselves” by voting the incompetent oaf Ford out of office at the first opportunity.
U have got to be kidding me! She thinks transit is only going to become a little more crowded!?! Transit in this City is god-awful and just as over-crowded as this City is and then they try to promote Motorists leaving their cars behind for their shitty service, got to be kidding me!
