It's a TTC Thing (OC, vol. 2)

Here I come, 2 weeks later, with 5 new posters inspired by the commenters, thank you all for the help and support!

A couple of disclaimers for people who want me to make posters specifically addressing certain topics—I have no interest in taking photos of people who are out of luck that call TTC their home. While it is a glaring issue, it should not be publicly shamed, and I see no benefit putting up signs against people who are in such an unfortunate position. I also have no moral ground to take photos of people smoking, vaping, or taking drugs on the TTC due to the fact it can end aggressively (do remember, I am not of age to defend myself to an angry and uncontrollable adult, I prefer less risk.)

This series was massively contributed by u/tujewm as a model. Thank you, sir!

Another message about hanging it up publicly—I followed what the commenters said, and hung one up on the TTC, but not permanently, just for a photo-op. One group of TTC employees loved it, and suggested I email the TTC to do photography for them. Another group did not. Special Constables were at the scene telling us to take it off the wall “like now” and only got the opportunity to get a couple of photos. I will not be going out and publicly hanging them anymore as I do not prefer to be trespassed for loitering.

I mean no harm to anybody for these messages—these are simply parodies of the TTC’s advertising campaign used against people who are unhygienic, lack basic ideas of unwritten rules, or social cues. Thank you for understanding.

If you want high quality downloads, DM me.

Why !? Octranspo

It's 4 in the afternoon octranspo why an hour to get a bus at quitting time!

LOST WALLET Friday evening LRT or bus

Hello fellow OC Transpo riders. I fear my wallet has fallen out of my coat this evening on the LRT between Pimisi and Tunneys or on the 63 bus at 7:00pm from Tunneys. Black leather with a red logo. Thankfully there’s no cash or Credit/ Debit cards in it. Only ID… and a presto with a few measly dollars.

In the off chance someone happens across it and turns it in please DM me a photo of it, I’d be happy to compensate you for being a good samaritan.

I’ve already submitted a lost and found thing on the website. Thanks and have a good weekend.

Buying a pass before the month is over

For years I have been buying a monthly pass before the start of the new month. For example, buying a pass for May before April 30. So when I tapped my presto card it would show the new pass as already loaded on the card.

Now the new pass doesn’t show when I tap it on the bus. Guessing the new system update is to blame. this the same for anyone else?

Wisdom

Please share some wisdom.

I currently work 38 hrs a week and make $80-85k a year. 4 weeks vacation.

I see my situation in such a way that to support my family I may have to work a bit more or find a job with some OT.

Please share some light. With bus operatior, I see people making more money.

Please can you break down something:

The base pay I see is approx $75k. So is it safe to assume, people making $150k are probably putting 15-20hrs a week of ot (55-60hrs per week total). To make that much?

Also how many hours do you work a day? Is it like a 12 hour window which will have your split shift hours and OT if available?

Jobe questions

Hi everyone.

I am thinking of applying. Please can you point out how flexible things can be for a new operator.

  1. For instance, my current job allows personal time off at any time for up to 3 to 5 days per year. (No proof needed to take this time off)

It also has unpaid time off for upto year if any immediate member needs intense care . (Proof needed to take this off)

I sometimes take 3 hours as personal time if I have any doctor's appointment or so and come back to my work.

Do we have something like this ? Or are benefits different?

2.How would split shift work. Is it all over the place or do you have a certain time frame in which it's broken up. How does overtime works. Example, do the allow any split and over time in a specific time window or it's like split shift , morning 10 to 2 then 9 to 1 pm and overtime may only be available after 1 pm?

Thank you in advance.

Some nuance on the usual "OC Transpo bad"

Rant on bad infrastructure.

We have a crazy sprawl situation. Everything is far away from everything else, there's not enough mixed-use land. If you live in suburbia, then walking or biking to where you need to be is out of the question.

Can you imagine what it would be like if your commute to work was 5km instead of 15km? What if you didn't need a bus or a car, or only needed it for some of your trips, and for shorter distances?

OC Transpo is bad, yes. Cancelled trips and late buses abound. But I think we're getting mad at the wrong thing here - obviously a transit system isn't going to work very well if you need it to service a gigantic area where people are so spread out. Obviously it doesn't work if all the buses get caught in the same traffic caused by car-dependent infrastructure. Buses can't run as often so the ones that do show up are crowded, and now your commute is a bus and a train and it doesn't get you there any faster.

It's something the next generation might be able to enjoy and not us, but building density instead of propping up a stretched bus system seems like the better thing to focus on in the long run. Not saying it's okay that OC Transpo sucks as much as it does, but I don't think it's from just mismanagement alone.

Obligatory Sutcliffe sucks Ford sucks LRT sucks OC Transpo no Barefax yes

Black people saying the n-word

A large group of black people got on the bus at Rideau and the first thing they do is say the n-word. Why would they do this?

The 25

Isn’t it nice when you’re waiting for a bus that was supposed to come 10 minutes ago and it’s just sitting where the route starts.. next one is scheduled in 30 mins. wtf?

u/Tasty-Jackfruit-2170 — 4 days ago

Fare evaders

How many people do you see every day getting on at the back of the bus without tapping their card?

And where are the bus stops for the people who most often do this?

Ever wonder how an O-Train actually enters service each day?

From leaving the Belfast maintenance and storage facility, to the handover between operators, and finally entering the mainline through the connector tunnel—there’s a lot more going on than you might expect.

can anyone tell me more about this model of bus?

all my years of riding oc transpo ive never seen this layout before! can any bus foamers tell me more about it?

u/ThatCanadianJacket — 7 days ago

Tapping Presto

Are there any Oc Transpo employees reading this? I have a question.

Thanks by the way for your services even though they suck but I am pretty sure it’s not your fault. Operators follow schedules organized by management I suppose.

Question is, on the small buses, why are the back doors open? Riders are boarding the front PAYING THE FARE, while everyone boarding the back doors get free fare. Should I start just boarding the back doors on the shorter buses to save money?
