TTC service to STOP Monday @ 4am--TTC STRIKE

The TTC Union has set a deadline of 4pm Sunday for a deal to be struck; if the deadline is not met the Union plans to strike--that is, cancel all TTC services--starting the following morning @ 4am.

TTC Union boss Bob Kinnear has laid out the terms of avoiding a TTC strike: land a deal by 4pm Sunday or his members will walk off the job at 4am Monday. A disruption would shut down all buses, streetcars and subway cars for 1.5 million riders.

He's pleading with Mayor David Miller to get involved to avoid a crippling walkout, and admits "most of the public won't be on our side."

Check back soon for updates.

I feel bad for all the people who are going to suffer because of some people couldnt come to an agreement due to their greed.(Both sides are at fault equally).

I have an exam Monday morning.

There is no way I am willing to bike the 15KM to school for my exam.

It'll be mayhem on the QEW/Gardiner/DVP/401

You know what pisses me off about the TTC is when I pay 1.75 in bunch of change they don't even look or they tell me to have a nice day. But when I actually pay 2.75 in change they question me and tell me that wasn't 2.75 that I put in.

Yesterday for example going home from work. I put in 2.75 in change, quarters, dimes and nickels. This b*** inside the booth tells me "hey that wasn't 2.75 you put in, I can see you know"

So I replied, "You might want to get your eye sight checked, those glasses might be the wrong prescription for you, count it again if you want" and I just continued walking...

Just over $51,000 if its 37.5 hours per week. $55,000 if its 40 hours per week.

That's pretty damn good if you ask me to drive a bus around.
