Since I have started commuting into the city of Toronto.... early.... very early...everyday, I have discovered that as “convenient” as public transit systems, like the TTC are...between the rude customer service representatives scoffing at you as you purchase tokens and the constant delays that make me late for class, the TTC really isn’t that convenient nor pleasant to ride at all. I thought to myself on my first trek down the Bloor/Danforth line to Pape Station, my stop for school... “Wow. This beats the St. Catherines bus system...I’m living the life of a commuter.” Call me crazy, but I almost felt grown up.
Since then, the TTC has demonstrated less then satisfactory customer service each and every time I have to buy tokens. I get stared at everyday by some creeper who doesn’t have something better to look at. I can’t tell if the guy sitting next to me eating the sandwich smells or whether it’s just his sandwich. Shouldn’t there be some form of public transit etiquette?
