yes but the brilliant thing is, if the train is delayed there are usually 4 alternative ways to get there... |

Of course, your comparison then is null and void. I mean I'd love for TO to be even close to Nyc but it's apples and pears. TO does not have many means or alternate options. |

| Honestly, it should have been $3.00 a while ago...it's way easier to have to have an even $3.00 than 3 quarters. And I'm sure they could use the extra .25 more than I can...However, that being said, part of me objects because any organization that pays their bitchy face booth collectors 100k+/year needs some serious retooling |

| How else are they supposed to pay those $120,000/yr booth collectors? Sheesh, have a heart people, if they didn't raise fares then they might have to lay off 5 or 10 of those highly-trained employees or cut their wages! Then they'd be making less than an accountant or a civil engineer! How are they supposed to feed their families then? |

No, that's exactly his point.
He wants to see more viable options, but instead, we're left with Tweedle Dum, and Tweedle Dee is nowhere to be found. |

It's all in the name of equality really. Everyone, regardless of their skill-set, ability or motivation to actually do something with their life, should be able to afford a nice house, a big-screen LCD TV, and a brand new Lexus.
Where's your heart Digi? |

my comparison was due to the fact that with all that service its still cheaper than present day toronto fares. And prices are going up!!
Toronto doesnt need the NYC system but we definitely need at least 5 more lines AT MINIMUM |

actually i think the canadian socialist dream is for everyone to live in condos with grass roofs, wait half an hour for a bus, and ride their bikes in a -20C blizzard while eating vegan food from a fair trade wooden bowl made in india. |

Exactly. All these taxes and high fares are in serious violation of my inalienable right to those things as guaranteed by international law, which is why I've issued written demands for a $250,000 per year equalization payment to level the playing field and will be suing the city if they refuse. |
