Yes, again!
I am not predisposed against the TTC. Really, I’m not! But as long as the daily ride remains detrimental to body and soul, I must speak for fellow sardines everywhere, or else we will all lose our humanity. I am surprised that in a country like ours that values safety above all things, the monstrosity of the subway experience is tolerated. It’s not just crowded; it’s a health hazard! You hear about medical emergencies on trains all the time during rush hour. Well, no kidding! People are so packed, they can’t breathe!
So, it makes me wonder… While the city is expanding and the subway network remains the same, what is going through the authorities’ minds when they approve new residences and condominiums? Do they actually have a plan in mind to improve public transit or are they hoping people will just get so fed up with this mess that they will either: 1) die of heart attacks and asphyxiation while on the subways, or 2) move out of Toronto.
my dilemma is between going into work on time thereby undergoing the sardine treatment in the subway and arriving at work frazzled and traumatized
or
going into work late and avoiding the sardine treatment yet arriving with peace of mind
the price for punctuality is great indeed
