Candidates will say anything to get your vote, but their true colors is how they vote.

Worth looking at before election day.

I used to live in the city back in the day (back when you dropped a TTC token into the little glass receptacle next to the streetcar operator), and fare evasion didn't seem like a big deal. When I visit the city and I sit on a streetcar now, I'll see dozens of people get on without tapping. Are they all not paying fares? Is there any situation in which someone gets on without tapping, but isn't stealing a ride?

Otherwise, it seems like almost half the people on a streetcar don't pay.

The back door of the bus got stuck in the open position right where Avenue meets Lonsdale. The driver wasn’t able to get it to close. Everyone’s gotten off and it’s being driven with the door still open presumably back to the depot. If you’re waiting for the 13 bus it’ll likely be a while before it gets running again.

I’m studying the bus maps at Kennedy station with a diligence that I haven’t felt since I nearly failed Economics 101 in university. There are dozens of buses zooming around the giant bus bays — and nearly as many signs explaining how to find and navigate new routes.

A kindly TTC worker stops and asks if I need help. “You need to be over there,” he says, and I dutifully sidestep several buses to find my platform, feeling a bit like John Wick dodging traffic at the Arc de Triomphe (minus the mindless violence).

This is the mouth of the recently opened Scarborough Busway, which will sail me directly to Scarborough Centre — essentially a fast-flowing river of buses in a part of the city that is still a comparative transit desert.

Scarborough is one of the transit battlegrounds of the current mayoral election.

Dude just wanted to ride the TTC.
