    Thank you Mr. Keywan for defending that TTC bus operator. 🙂👍 I live here in Canada in the Greater Toronto Area and I ride the TTC quite a lot and I see so many teenagers and young adults evading fares and it's terrible. 😥

      I live in Mississauga and it happens a lot here. I just shrug it off and tell them "I'm not surprised" when they ask. It's generally the younger generation and they never ever say thank you neither.

    Good on this operator for giving his speech. Fare evasion on TTC is so rampant and it's terrible when people who paid watch an entire adult family just walk on like the service is free.

    I wonder which route this was, as not every route has people who do not pay, who are not using a CNIB card or a pass. I agree completely with the driver and if it is one of the routes in a ruff area of Toronto, good for him. At least on the routes I normally use, such freeloaders are rare for me.

    When I lived in San Diego, CA I used to have to rely on the bus to go everywhere. Before I started my trip I always printed a copy of the routes I needed and when I got onto the bus I would ask if they would tell me when I got to a certain stop for that route. Most of the time the driver would be willing to do something like that.

    I drove for GO Transit, Toronto’s suburban bus and train service, for 13 years up until 2017. That was when my wife commanded me to move us to Orlando, where I now drive a bus at one of the larger theme parks in town.
    I’m so glad that city bus BS is behind me.
    The worst thing about being a GO bus driver was they don’t have fareboxes and (until 2020) drivers had to sell tickets and make change.
    I drove the 12 - Niagara Falls / Burlington, where all of the tickets are expensive because of the distance from Toronto.
    The amount of cash I had to carry on me was unreal.
    I understand the working conditions for GO and TTC drivers have become considerably more violent. It really says something that a Canadian bus driver is safer in Florida than back in Canada.

      As a passenger that lives in Misssissauga and uses public transit, I must say that people in the Greater Toronto Area are getting ruder and ruder. I must say I am not surprised with your statement. I have also heard passengers not use their manners towards other drivers and even customers. I will say from my experience, I even found passengers at Transit Windsor had better manners than with Brampton Transit.

    Nobody forces you to take the bus...if you don't want to pay you can walk, hitch, ride a bike, bum a ride from a friend, etc. So I never had a problem with fare evaders on my trolley...I'd turn it off and we'd wait for the police to help them off if they refused to leave.

    Chicago stores don't accept EBT at all even though I don't get any EBT at all. I have to used cash from my hardworking job to spend. I had some passengers feel like I'm supposed to know things when I'm just a passenger myself. They have a cell phone themselves and the tracker is on top of the board at the train station.

    A co worker of mine had a "customer" get on bus and put 34 CENTS in farebox.. (fare is $2.00). after driver told him the correct cost he dug thru his pockets and pulled out a $20 bill. The driver suggested he go to Circle-k at bus stop and get change and catch the next bus.. "Customer" got mad and threw his drink at the driver.

    I'm from Toronto and use the TTC all the time. People are always getting on buses for free or walking into stations from the street. I've been told from talking to a few drivers is their told in training not to say anything if someone doesn't pay their fare and a lot of drivers are also scared of getting attacked as it's happened before. Some drivers do speak up if someone doesn't pay.

    I have a lot of operator friends and when I ride with them, I always see them deal with stupid questions passengers ask like “Do you stop at 123 Main Street?” and I also hate it when passengers show the operators a map on their phone to the operator, like you have a phone for a reason, people can be so stupid these days…

  • @TVHouseHistorian
    @TVHouseHistorian 12 часов назад +1

    Here’s the main problem I have with fare evasion: when you allow evil to get its way, it overtakes everything and always demands *more.*
    And as for the EBT question, my canned response for every question I cannot answer is always *YES.* Same thing with directional questions:
    *”Bus driver can you tell me where 34567 SW Main Street is?”*
    “Why yes, just hop off here, walk three blocks, turn right and you’ll be there!” Never mind the fact that I gave them the wrong directions.
    Then that’s it. Let them go on their wild goose chase. Let the good folks at Popeye’s deal with the fallout when they have to tell their customer “No.” The rule of thumb with EBT is that, if the food is cooked onsite at the restaurant, then they don’t accept EBT. If it’s prepared at the restaurant, but not cooked there (like Papa Murphy’s) then yes, they accept EBT. The passenger should have known that, and probably did. They were waiting for you to say, “I don’t know” so they could throw a fit with you. People are dumb. You just have to be smarter than them.

    Yeah you can't hold the bus up because people don't pay their fare. It's not fair (pun not intended) to those good honest customers who's trying to get where they need to be.
    I document a lot of crazy encounters I have with passengers. I'll list one right here.
    *Driving down the street and there's heavy police activity. A police car is involved in a crash and police has the road blocked.*
    Me: *Stops the bus and contacts control.*
    Control Center: *Responds in a minute. They send supervision to the location after speaking with them.*
    Old man That didn't pay his fare: You see where those cars are going? You need to turn down the street and follow them. That's how you do it. You sitting here like you don't know what you're doing.
    Me: ..........
    Woman whispering: "Old man shut your dumb *** up. He'll go off route."

    I mean here in Canada if I were a bus driver and had habit fare evaders I'd just let them board and the first cop car or police station I see and I'd stop and ask them to handle the fare evader on my bus. But there is a lot less chance that I'd be getting shot in Canada than the US. Anyone whose life is so bad that they find themselves having to dodge bus fare has a lot less to lose than I do so I'm not about to put that to the test.
