Wow, way to go to Mr. TTC driver, your timing could not have been tier, honestly. What, a day? Maybe two? after the TTC holds a (poorly moderated mind you) town hall meeting to apologize for its -ups and mend relationships with riders, this happens!?
It'll be interesting to see what effect this driver's actions has on the public's (imo: already negative) perception of the TTC, and just how damaging this is to the TTC's credibility and trust among riders despite their recent efforts to manage public relations. |

LOL ...
The media is blowing this TTC thing out of proportion, after so many highly popularized instances one may get an impression that its THEworst public transit system in the world. But is it? |

there have been many a time that I've wanted to toss people off my bus. but I have to restrain myself and call the transit enforcement if the little is really becoming a problem. |

| Although I have a few gripes with the TTC, the actions of one driver (the circumstances around which we know nothing about) does not harm my view of the TTC as a whole. |

totally agree... but the general indifference I, (a generally friendly, non-pain in the ass type of customer)often receive in terms of service doesn`t do a whole lot for my view of the majority of the front-line workers that I have encountered.
Mind you... little punks like the aforementioned are probably to blame.
There`s a little sign at the front of all the buses and street cars saying `every day X number of TTC employees are assaulted` (forget the exact number)... kinda tough to believe - but if-true, it`s a pretty-sad statement on transit users as a whole in this city. |

What is interesting though is that the instances of customer assault on the TTC workers don`t seem to get media attention.
For example, last year I was stuck north of the city late at night because the subway was shut down. We had to wait in the empty station for a bus. While chit chatting with a few drivers, I learned that some kids firebombed a collector booth at Eglington West station and the collector was badly-injured. I never heard anything of it on the news.
Perhaps an attempt to keep things quiet to avoid copy-cat crimes. |

^^^^^
you have to wonder if the media is slacking on the job or if the government is controlling what makes the news. Either answer is disturbing.
I mean, if you know about it and all the drivers know about it, wheres the media? Undoubtedly that would be news, so whats the deal?
laziness or state controlled media? |
