Cause ya know, only the Pinkos use the TTC, and they don't count...
TTC riders will likely be paying more for decreased service, less space and fewer vehicles to get them around.
The transit commission met Friday to approve its 2012 operating budget — one which meets the directive from Mayor Rob Ford to slash the budget by 10 per cent.
What the commissioners decided is that the TTC will take regressive measures — reduce service, lay-off staff and probably raise fares in the new year — in order to meet that 10 per cent target, or $70 million.
and the 'duh' moment:

So, stop voting for Conservative neanderthals, people! What did you expect from the Fords... or Harper... or Hudak? This is what they do!

TTC is a f*cking disgusting mess
A TTC study assessing the cleanliness of all its subway stations has found that none of them meet the transit agency's own standards.
The TTC's cleanliness audit, conducted in May, evaluated stations on a scale of one to five.
Level one is defined as "unkempt neglect," while five has been labelled "orderly spotlessness."
The TTC aimed for a level four, in which floors are clean, payphones free of graffiti and washrooms clean and stocked. But none of the 69 subway stations met that standard — although 66 of them achieved level three cleanliness, described as "casual inattentiveness."

TTC union re sleeping collector: It's the public's fault, duh
The president of the TTC workers' union says it is “disturbing” that a transit rider snapped a photo of what appears to be a sleeping ticket collector instead of checking to see whether the worker was okay.
“The guy could have had a heart attack. He could've had an aneurysm. He could have been a diabetic,” said Bob Kinnear, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113, which represents more than 9,000 TTC employees. “Seventy-five per cent of them are down there [in the collection booth] for medical reasons. It wouldn't be the first time we've had collectors collapse.”
A picture of the collector, reclining in a booth with his eyes closed, head back and mouth open, has become an Internet sensation since it was posted Thursday.
Public to TTC: Fuck you.

Toronto Transit workers to walk off job
Those sneaky motherfucking bastards. TTC, you will be hated across Toronto today, you cunts.
Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) workers have voted against a tentative agreement reached last weekend and workers were to have walked off the job last night.
The union that represents nearly 9,000 operating and maintenance employees says 65 per cent of members who voted rejected the tentative settlement.
The tentative deal had been forged last Sunday, narrowly averting a walkout the following morning. The deal was ratified earlier this week by the TTC.
No wonder people beat up busdrivers.
