Good marketing.

Its really just a smart business move. If donating money to make TTC transport free for the night prevents one person from getting behind the wheel and killing someone and saving the business from getting sued its well worth it.

not to mention the great deal of promotion it generates for your clubs via mainstream channels like news papers and TV

Ahhh someone finally clued in. You have all forgotten the marketing ploys directly involved. This is ingenious as far as attracting an enormous crowd for NY's. People will know ahead of time that they have a safe way of getting home. What does this promote? Get as mangled as much as you can because you will still have a "safe" way home regardless of what state your are in (so long as you can get on the TTC safely)

Nevertheless, I can definitely applaude them for their efforts and money well spent as far as "catering" to the general publics safety.

I was going to say even if it prevents 1 person from drinking an driving then it is a success.

so based on this logic, maybe we should have free ttc every weekend... then no one shall drink and drive...no?

cos apparently people cant afford to take the ttc but can afford to drive instead...

riight!

So, based on this logic - everything should always be done for free, or don't bother doing ti at any time of the year - regardless of motivations behind it?

Same logic of "Well hun, I can't save the whole planet, so I wont bother recycling -- if you cant kill the big fish, why go after the small ones eh?"

Posted by English Rachel on Dec-10-2008 20:37:

Great idea! Thanks Charles and Nick! There is a chance I will take you guys up on the offer of free transit on NYE.

Also, bravo for your clever stump up of cash - I hope it pays dividends back to you (and saves a life or two in the process).

As long as no-one tries to call you guys 'heroes' or 'philanthropists of the year', I am hunky dory

For the most part, yes. Except there will still be people drinking a driving.

But if TTC was free all the time, there would be less people drinking and driving.

+1 is great, but your thinking on your rationale scares the fuck out of me. It's that thinking that made us a nanny state, making everything illegal and banned for just one person, and having the rest of us complain...

BUT I GET YOUR POINT!!!

haha, trust me. i believe in the exact opposite of a nanny state :P I would never in my life pray for something like that lol

But yes, you understand what i'm saying. Which is good.

not everyone lives close or within say 1/2 hour ttc ride from venues in the downtown core...its easy to say that people living downtown or close to a TTC stop easily accessible and close to their destination downtown do NOT drive..

its the lazy people that are within ttc reach but cant "bear" the "long" ride home and those living in the far off burbs that would have to pay multiple fares and/or dont have transit at the wee hours of the morning running in their area that WILL drive even if you give them transit fare on exiting the club

so i really dont see what logic you people have saying that free transit will save lives....

your mother must not have loved you enough, because i can't think of any
other reason for you turning out to be such a cynical, pathetic idiot.

yes because offering free transit leads to companies having monopolies.

jesus christ lay off the curry.

Posted by LKD on Dec-10-2008 22:24:

oh and my problem is not that this is free or who is sponsoring it but rather the rationale you people have about "free transit saving lives"

Posted by elFreak on Dec-10-2008 22:30:

your problem is that you are an idiot.
