Hey, thanks for using my photo!

Oh, and RE: the TTC, I must say that service seems to have improved (I take two buses and travel on two subway lines to get to and from work every day) but I still wonder about how efficient their internal processes are, especially when I see two or three empty "sorry not in service" buses every day wasting precious fuel!

This is just a case of moronic stupidity and ugly greed, however ... it's no secret that TTC employees are paid well - why bite the hand that feeds you?]]>

To the commenter above who says "you could use tokens": Just one itty bitty problem: tokens are not available throughout the city at corner stores like they SHOULD be.]]>

"Once again I'm going to use Montreal's STM as an example of smarter thinking."

That's what you get when you have a system that receives adequate funding. It's not 'smarter' - unless by smarter you mean located in a province that receives a disproportionate amount of funding.]]>

So, was the employee handing out fake tickets as real ones and pocketing the cash?  I'm curious how this worked.  You'd think the supervisors would notice after a while that fewer tickets were being sold during one particular employee's shifts.

Who am I kidding. Like the supervisors even pay attention.]]>

They don't use tokens at all, thus avoiding Home Depot having to usher a recall of specific sized washers, and the tickets have a magnetic strip down the middle, which you place into a slot when you transfer inside a metro station.
I just cannot understand the need to continue using an antiquated system which has been proven ineffective and costly.]]>

Anyone know of any token holders that are flat? Sort of credit card sized but a bit thicker, it would slot the tokens in flat rows and would be more convenient to put in your pocket, with less loss...?

if not, someone please invent this - there's a market for it!]]>

I don't have a coin pocket in my wallet, and have lost plenty of tokens as a result. I suppose I could buy a new wallet, and carry tokens though.]]>

I always have a few tickets in my wallet. I guess I'd better lose the habit of relying on there always being transit fare in my back pocket.]]>
