TTC = Woe is me

So, I don't live in Toronto, but I've been taking rides with the TTC (Toronto Transit.. commission? council? crap?) lately.

You'd think such a big city would be able to fix things up with transit, but nope. Of course, Toronto elects Ford as mayor too. That'll sure help (if there was an "I'm really stupid with my crossed eyes and tongue sticking out" icon, I'd probably insert it now).

Firstly, how in the world do you read a TTC transfer (from a bus, not a subway station)? Random numbers, letters and symbols. They rip it in a certain spot. Can bus drivers/subway workers even read these things? Every time I hold one up, the TTC workers don't even seem to look at them. What is this nonsense? I bet I could carry the same transfer around for months and not one person would notice. I should do that. Damn you, Toronto. You don't deserve my $3 (Xhowever many rides I take).

Secondly, TTC bus drivers seem to be extra pissy. Yes, many riders are psychotic, prissy prissfaces, or annoying as hell, but I'm not! You didn't even give me a chance to be nice and friendly. I don't even know why I say thanks when getting off buses... Doesn't help anything... I suppose the way I get off through the front doors just cancels out my niceness though... hm..

My last points are for buses all over the place:
Why in the world is the bus you're waiting for always the last one to show up? I could see the 191 everyday, all day, then when I need it, it takes five hours. WHY? When I want the 191, you know that rare 648791 bus is going to come by five times. The transit commissions do it on purpose, I assure you.

This one isn't about the actual buses, but the riders. When someone beside you wants to get off the bus, why in the world would you turn your body into the aisle? They still have to squish their behinds right past your side. Do you want my bag and/or behind to smack your shoulder on the way out? Really? 'Cause I'll do it. You asked for it. Also, when I've contorted the hell outta that row, how am I supposed to walk down the aisle with your gigantic calves blocking my way? Exactly.

I would also really appreciate not having your crotch in my face when you're standing. Stand back, please and thank you.


BTW, I'm listening to Julia Nunes while writing this. Just thought you should all know. I should probably write a rave on the good musicians I've discovered on YouTube (Go away, Biebs. You ruined YouTube, Canada, music and my life).
