Good job guys, good challenge. And they shouldn't just ride the TTC - they should ride it when everyone else rides it, between 8-9am and 5-7pm, so they can see just what the workers and students of the GTA have to deal with!

Amazing

@kyla6789 wtf do you want me to do. go save africa, they're all socialists lynching each other. if you got time to ponder stupid questions, i certainly don't. i pay for roads with gasoline tax for your information. and healthcare should be privatized. ppl with money always have more power, hopefully this is not your very last discovery.

[kyla6789]

@drusha1 great idea, drusha. your right.. life is what i make of it. so with that same logic.. who needs healthcare? u can find your own medication. who needs paved roads? you can drive across the grass or fund a road project. with that logic... people with more money have more power! what about people born to less privileged homes?

@drusha1 Really? We have councillors working for the Ford Nation, who never take the TTC and don't give a damn (library matter as well). If keeping the current service level is too much to ask, why don't we privatize the TTC and make them juggle its budget matter? That way we can have a bus once a month.

@drusha1 You want to know what the point is? It's called fighting for our rights and letting these councillors feel what it's like to be us - the common people. And some people don't have cars or they want to save money on gas. And less cars = less pollution. Regardless, the TTC is important to a lot of people.

[drusha1]

@bassplayer923 your needs are unlimited. every councillor realizes that. first you ask for bus once a month, then once a week, then once a day, then once an hour, then once every minute. we all have unlimited needs. and the questions is not that of needs, but that of means. first you need to come up with means to meet your needs.

[bassplayer923]

@drusha1 The point is to help the Councillors to realize what our public transportation needs, since they discuss some important matters for TTC without knowing anything about it.

Great job guys!

Good effort, but that pompous mayor we have will probably not even listen, he probably doesn't even care for the people in his own(now his idiot brother's) ward..
