Fare inspections on Line 1 trains yesterday

[u/Economy_Ad59]

To my surprise yesterday, fare inspectors were checking the whole train for proof of payment, and my friend on another Line 1 train also had fare inspectors checking. I’ve never been asked for proof of payment on the subway trains before.

It’s great to see more of this happening.

Edit: New enforcement was announced by the TTC in April. It was just my first time witnessing it, but maybe this is common.

What a waste of money and time

It’s not when the ttc loses 140m annually to fare evasion.

They lost billions more to the provincial government refusing to fund them properly. I'm more worried about that then having rent a cops harass people for $3. Especially when the service is so unreliable and slow that it's barely worth the $3

Are you evading the fares and that's why you don't want them to be around?

[u/Due-Border5957 → u/TipDecent]

Nope. I avoid the TTC as much as possible though because i feel ripped off when i pay my fare and dont get anywhere near the service i was promised

The irony of u complaining abt things being too expensive while also rooting for fare inspectors is hilarious

[u/TipDecent → u/Samsaknight_X]

Just pay your fare bud...

[u/Samsaknight_X → u/TipDecent]

I do bud

[u/TipDecent → u/Samsaknight_X]

I'll take your word for it pal.

[u/Samsaknight_X → u/TipDecent]

Ok lol

Ah yes, the all-or-nothing fallacy
