To me what’s frustrating that the fine is for not paying on GRT is $240. Yet for this it’s just $80 or $100?! The dichotomy is infuriating to me. Perhaps increasing these fees drastically (at minimum to match the GRT fines) could help with our cities budget problems 🙃🥴

Also, we desperately need GRT to add transit options (some extended LRT trains!) for riders on the late train back - apparently there’s nothing around the station that late.

Can you help me understand the proposed Grt bus fare inspectors? How exactly will that help recoup lost revenue when we don’t have open door boarding meaning everyone is required & observed to pay by the driver as they get on the bus? 🧐 I don’t understand the proposition at all?! 🤷🏻♀️

Thanks for this! Yikes… didn’t realize the extent to which this was a concern.

Oh in a case like that, don’t send money back. But the banks & anti fraud agencies recommend autodeposit, as transfers can’t be intercepted/passwords guessed.

I’ve read the opposite? Not having autodeposit makes it more vulnerable to be intercepted by scammers…

Part of the challenge is that Canada’s building code is FAR behind in accessibility standards & they tend to only be built into high rises. Everything else is DIY. And the standards are voluntary guidelines not legal requirements. ie: how many townhouses or detached house entryways have no stairs?

As someone currently trying desperately to find this middle housing (and accessible at that 🙃 - it doesn’t exist!) I couldn’t agree more. It’s feeling truly impossible… and I’m running out of time. We urgently need to find ways to fill this gap!!!

As a family who needs physically accessible housing (& someone who recognizes our aging population & that we’re all 1 accident away from being disabled), I hate these. It’s nearly impossible to find affordable options that don’t have a billion stairs… & we can’t visit friends/fam who live in them.

I’ll admit that while this is an improvement, in cases like this pic we have the space to separate cyclists from pedestrians & we should be opting to do so. I’m frustrated we aren’t pushing for full separation. This isn’t ideal esp for disabled folks & wish we’d push for separation where possible.

This is our day 3 backyard harvest and we’re already overwhelmed and have needed to start a freezer stash (happily overwhelmed that is, haha but this is just the beginning and soon I’m gonna need to find more freezer space 😆)
