The food fight continues over at The Better Way. Riders have now set up a website to vent years (decades?) of frustration. It is actually quite thoughtful. We have a far greater interest in effective transit than in scoring cheap points.
But on the scoring cheap points front, TTC employees have now opened a facebook site to vent on problem riders. Their crimes? Feet on seats, littering and not being polite to staff. Apparently, with our $120 metropass, we are regressed to grade 5. Perhaps we can have a detention room for wayward passengers.
The constitutional structure of Canada starves large urban centres. And other levels of government, with overrepresentation of suburban and rural voters, find it easy to overlook urban needs. Hence crumbling and decrepit transit infrastructure. But even with this, a positive and motivated workforce can make a huge difference.
We are all in this together. ATU workers are public servants. Sometimes customers are difficult. Sometimes they are too.
You are spending our money. Grow up!
