Why would the commissioner and councillors support something that will be onerous, deeply unpopular, and largely trivial?

Evidently pension wasn't a thing (to say nothing of seniors discount or OAS). And if one want to go about it this way - how much should the system charge seniors for their healthcare (because they certainly didn't pay for it in any capitated-insurance).

Ugh, only a block away from my work - thankfully, I rarely take transit these days.Another nut case on the TTC. Did he tap on?

Plus I'm somewhat likely to get into an altercation with one of these creeps since my tolerance for BS is at an all time low at my age. It happened a few months back at Mofer Coffee on Queen near Ossington when some nutcase started going off on me for taking "his" table - it turned into a 10 minute shouting match including threats of violence before I clued in that he was likely one of the local nutcases directly from upstairs (CAMH) before I slowly dialed back the rage. Not worth it.

Toronto Star reports...
TConnect is exhibiting poor performance, is vulnerable to cyber attacks, and its usage has declined by 65 per cent in 12 months.
(BTW. Former Toronto Mayor John H. Tory is a director on the board of Rogers. Hmmm.)
Rogers, TTC to pull the plug on free Wi-Fi in subway stations

This makes sense I guess. I haven’t used the wifi since they introduced mobile service on the subway. I wonder if that’s the end of wifi on select buses as well.

Honestly, it makes sense.
Wi-Fi in stations is somewhat pointless when it takes a minute or two to connect. By the time you have connected you either missed a train or the train is arriving.
Having a mobile signal in the station is far more useful.

Depending on your mobile phone plan, using your cellular data for calls and texts can be expensive. But WiFi is usually cheaper, so using your internet connection instead can provide a cost-saving advantage. Cheaper to use WiFi than Cell service.
When at home, friends, or where-ever there is WiFi, I use the WiFi connection for my cell phone to save money. Sometimes the reception is better.

Fair but unless you are streaming Netflix on the subway it won't matter much. Checking a couple emails or seeing when your next bus is coming does not use much if any data.
I have 150 GB of Data and only use (at most) 3 to 5 GB each month (30 days).
Also.. long gone are the days where you were only able to send a certain number of texts before being charged.
