The token system is antiquated. The TTC should have a two hour ticket so that people who live downtown can run errands without having to pay an outrageous return price of $5 (cost of two tokens). Also, the metropass should be made cheaper than paying two tokens per workday during one month. That way, people living in the suburbs who use the TTC for commuting to work can simply purchase a monthly pass instead of fumbling with tokens.

Many suggestions

For TTC to save money:

1. Sell all unused buses that are not being used for parts. No sense keeping buses that aren't being used.

2. Lower fares, and charge all same cash fare for everyone. By doing this you encourage people to buy tickets/tokens/passes.

3. Remove the transferable passes. Remove the day pass option, or change the way it's used.

4. Shut off all lights at stations not in use when the system has shut down. Why waste money on electricity that no one is around to use?

I Wonder If

Now That municipal elections is quickly approaching, I got to thinking about the few who manage the many of us.

Mayor Miller has convince me that any person on the planet can do this job.

I wonder how many people in the Toronto voting area will show up and make a historic change to the way things get done at Toronto city hall

It is hard to tell that something was good or bad. What I should say is that something could be better.
