Toronto's Public Transportation; A Mere Illusion

Just want to make a note of this.

Coming home from school today at 5:19pm I had to let ELEVEN trains pass me by because it was THAT busy. On the 12th train, I was finally able to squeeze my way through the pissed off riders and get myself comfy for the next 40 minutes (the ideal outcome in this ridiculously shitty situation). HOWEVER, 20 minutes or so later we arrive at Lawrence station at which point the operator announces that this train is no longer in service. Let me rephrase. During rush hour in a metropolitan city, the unionized, incompetent service that is the TTC decides to take a train packed with people and take it off the tracks. Am I the only one who thinks that this is a SICK JOKE!! Wait, it gets better. As we exit the train, the operator doesn't even wait for everyone to get out before closing the sliding doors on people. WE GET IT TTC, YOU HATE HUMANITY. Let me remind you that you are getting paid 70 000+ a year for this job. Start doing it like it's supposed to be done.  

Anyhow, the platform begins to resemble Boxing Day weekend, if you know what I mean. No word of a lie, I wait for another FOUR trains to come to a halt, open its doors, close its doors, and drive off. So that would make it a total of 15 trains that I was unable to get on. Um, NO. This should not be happening. It's unacceptable. I'm not even going to bust out the facts but just so you know Toronto has the longest commute time. 

So my usual 40 minute commute turned into an hour and 30 minutes. OH! On top of all that, I do not have a kindle at the moment and there was absolutely no room to bust out my fat book so I spent the whole ride watching a woman play Solitaire on her iPad. Plus, my phone doesn't work. Okay, I'm going to stop here. I'm getting mad again. 

The city is growing, figure it out Toronto!
