I work for the TTC for 29 years. The students tried every trick in the book, such as showing a transfer and covering the date with their hand, peeling the ticket in half, throwing a dime into the fare box instead of the token, trying to get on at the back of the bus when the doors are open and using outdated metropass etc... Well I got news for you, 85% of the drivers don't care, the other 15% is management ball licking mama boys and apparently you met one of the ball licking mama boys, however most of the drivers are down to earth and will help you when you require help every single time. I continue to help people as much as I can. That's my opinion. :)
