Riding Mass Transit Is Like Inviting 20 Random Hitchhikers Into Your Car

I guess we need to ban knives like the no longer Great Britain has.

mental health issue, when will the letfy jacka$$ learn to address the problem, rather than a symptom, punish a whole society for the acts of a few!!!!

Oh Noes. Is this the same system that Vanderzalm and his cronies stole over a magnitude of a thousand times more then this guy from the taxpaying idjits of BC? Good thing he's been charged and made to pay reprimands.../sarc

Ted Nugent's comment from your earlier posting seems to apply here:

“statistics by the Uniform Crime Report by the FBI and the U.N. study on violent crime — 78 of those 80 are let out of their cages by corrupt judges and prosecutors who know the recidivism is out of control, know that they’ll commit the crimes again, and they let them walk through plea bargaining, early release and programs,”

This bozo was "was released on condition he remain away from any SkyTrain or B.C. Transit property, does not possess any knives or sharp instruments except for the preparation and consumption of food while in residence, and does not possess any tools outside his workplace".

Oh yeah.

Hmmmm. I guess we know what our Government workers who were overpaid for watching security film for 120 days were doing? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Terald Nicholas Gorecki is a former Skytrain maintenance worker...

Did he work in the seat replacement division of Skytrain maintenance?

I think it's ridiculous how every Tom, Dick, and Harry that makes an appearance in any court gets an automatic weapons ban that includes all sharp objects... "does not possess any knives or sharp instruments except for the preparation and consumption of food while in residence, and does not possess any tools outside his workplace."

It may be relevant in this case, but for anyone up on charges of sneering at a fellow bus rider it just piles on. It's a step to becoming like England has become.

Yes, it is exactly like that.
Frack you, Toronto.
And Vancouver, cause, you are even worse.

I would like to see some one "go postal" on this clown.

"happy infidel"

Interesting troll handle. Sock puppet much?

Not too bright, are you?

480 seats slashed; damages $45,000.00

That works out to slightly over $900 per seat. There's a big part of the problem right there. Mostly a result of union labour, I expect.

BC
Will be a $500 fine. And about 20k in taxpayer funded lawyers. Both sides. And of course 45000 taxpayer $ for repairs

The government of upper middle-class bureaucrats wonder why ordinary citizens don't want to risk, life, limb and property on public transit.

Even those who aren't personally attacked feel the stress of helplessness, of being prey when the human predators are stalking them or others around them.

Well, it is the same bureaucrats, including judiciary, and politicians for life, who have made public spaces uncivilized via their delusional policies.

"I guess we need to ban knives like the no longer Great Britain has."

He'll find a way.

By the time the Liberal left is done with society, everyone will be in strait jackets living in little rubber room tenement buildings, drooling from meds with a large 24/7 tv screen pumping gay porn at you all day long.

Hey lady, considering the fact you live in a town with two streets, you'll forgive me if I don't take any of your opinions on public transit seriously.

Thanks,

The great inherent flaw of all public transit systems will always be this:

People don't use public transit because they want to.

They use it because they have to.

Well, people who live in small communities may provide their own transportation, their own drinking water,
and their own sewage disposal. Those of us who live in cities rely on the municipality for all three.

I saw the desirability of public transport when we moved from Edmonton to outside Paris. Driving downtown in Paris is madness. At that time I decided never to drive, and to live in cities which have decent public transportation systems, which in fact I identify as an important part of civilized living.

And may I say, my dear Kate, that with age your eyesight will fade, and it will no longer be pleasant or even possible to drive at night. Then, lacking a public transit system, you will be obliged to rely on the kindness of relatives. Enjoy the loss of independence!

John Lewis said: "Then, lacking a public transit system, you will be obliged to rely on the kindness of relatives."

So John, you planning on letting your elderly relatives ride around alone on transit where @ssh0les slash the seats and people get beat to death? Nice!

John Lewis also said: "Driving downtown in Paris is madness. At that time I decided never to drive, and to live in cities which have decent public transportation systems, which in fact I identify as an important part of civilized living."

Never considered moving someplace where people don't drive like rabid weasels, eh?

Personally, I experienced Toronto and New York traffic, also Toronto and New York transit. I decided to drive really enormous vehicles that even New York cabbies shrink from in fear like a bunch of little girls. And never EVER to take transit if at all avoidable. Ever. Because even I, the invincible Phantom, do not have eyes in the back of my head.

Also to live someplace where rabid weasels get put down, not handed a driver's license. Which in fact I identify as an important part of civilized living. As I do looking after elderly relatives. So I live in rural Ontario, where we do both.

John Lewis you need to man up. Only a complete wuss couldn't hack driving in Paris. I've driven in Mexico city and some other rat holes that make Paris look bucolic.
