    I came back from HK this xmas and then I saw a sign saying something like "know the new prices" but they didnt say how much.

    So i got on the bus and it was £2!!!!!!!! £2 to get on a bus thats like paying HK$30 to get on a bus in HK....
    Plus the busses ere in london suck, apart from the fact they are regular, they are cramped and smell of wee
    And WTF is up with under 18's getting free bus travel, cause the rest of us end up paying for it...

    Now I always keep my oyster card topped up

    Being regular can worth A LOT.
    Specially when you wait in a raging ice storm for 1.5 hrs for one vanished Bus.

  7. yo toronto ppl in post-secondary education:

    UofT mississauga is having this vote to make scholar yearly passes for only 89 bucks. so 89 bucks for 8 months on mississauga transit unlimited rides. its called the Upass. now if theres enough, hopefully they'll try to make the upass available for the ttc, durham region, york, and GTA. so if you have that at your school, VOTE!!

    89 bucks = unlimited rides for the whole school year.
    87 bucks = monthly pass for ttc.

    cause of the congestion charge if u drive in london. -unsure
     
  12. hmm? yrt and viva only goes around york. not mississauga.

    considering that i live in markham, including a walk to the nearest ttc station, it takes me 3 hours to get to utm. one way. it would be faster if i took mississauga+ttc+yrt. but why would i do that? thats 15.50 bucks on tickets a day.. thank god i get a ride..

    It usually takes me 1 and a half hours to get to DownTown TO by Bus, Subway, then Streetcar. All the way down for $2.75 or 1 ticket, and back up is another ticket.

    Streetcars are the MOST unecnomical way of transportation!!!!!!! EVER!!!
    i mean it blocks traffic, it doesnt work if theres not electricity, and if one car breaks down, it blocks all of them, Their also never one time. Sometimes you would have to wait 20 minutes for 1. But other times when there is a streetcar, theres like 6 back to back following each other.

    Must overall TTC's not THAT bad.....I was only late for school 4 times this month :D

    Ugh every time I come back from HK the transportation here seems so much crappier. The MTR freaking owns.
     
  18. nah. i live on brimley and denison. its closer.

    and if i go to utsc for the shuttle bus, i have to go east, then west. takes a hell of a long time. and plus, theres more shuttles that go to utsg than utsc. so if i want to go to utsc, its gonna take longer to wait. MUCH longer.
