4634 has started its burn in an testing this afternoon

still around because TTC refused to refund the money that riders paid to buy them in the first place. Know someone who had a few rolls of tokens before they were stop being sold and try to get their money back and were told they would get tickets only. To make the matter worse, they did when...
