    1. No were not like America, at least the Americans can arm themselves to defend themselves. In this country ONLY the bad guys can have guns and even when they get caught they are released the next day.

  1. This is not new. It’s underreported. These are the cases that make it too the news. Drivers are physically and verbally assaulted all day.

    1. @Rick Russell  who says they don’t? Most of them have big mouths when someone asks them a question until they get taught a lesson. These bus drivers need to realize that they are public service employees and need to communicate accordingly as the servants that they are. That means no belittling, rudeness, mocking, or anything else when someone asks an innocent question. At the end of the day, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes

    1. @WarAmpsChamp not every assault but there’s been a increase in violence on the TTC recently. string of attacks on the TTC system daily. And every one is one the news.

  2. Yes, if they listened to you back in August, this wouldn’t have happened 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦How??? That’s such a stupid thing to say.

  3. I called the mayor office once and asked to speak to the mayor. I was told by the staff they don’t do that so in a firm voice I said I need to speak the the mayor sir. He then said he didn’t feel safe with this call and he hung up.
