I had an extremely unsettling experience with a TTC bus driver (license plate 661 1BK at 11:10AM September 26, 2024) that left me both furious and deeply concerned for public safety.

Read moreI went on the subway for the first time in 25 years yesterday and it was a good experience the wait time wasn't long and the technology was amazing compared to what I was used to in the 80s and early 90s I do think that they should make the transfers 3 hours because with delays which are very very frequent your transfers often expire if you're taking long trips from city to city! I also think that more education on fair fees and day passes should be available more people would use the bus if they were aware of what is...
