this is so sad. remember when the TTC was hiking fares to $3.00 and everyone was upset because the price of the TTC was already too high?
well, emotions were running high and (as usual) people made the mistake of targetting an individual instead of the system.
remember napping TTC worker?
i wrote about it here "the trick to avoiding the 3$ ttc fare? go to this guy's booth."
"we've all fallen asleep at work. the difference is that this guy works for the most hated public service in ontario, one that bleeds money and provides shitty service for an exorbitant and outlandish price to its users.
so i guess we could look at it as being a waste of money, or we could look at it as the ttc employee's resistance to the fare increases--letting a few customers go by with an extra three dollars in their pockets.
he's probably not even sleeping, just slyly looking out from under his eyelashes chuckling at his little thursday night insubordination. "
that man, George Robitaille, would eventually disclose that he had health problems that had caused him to fall asleep. he eventually went on medical leave and was very "disheartened" by the napping incident.
Robitaille worked for the TTC for 29 years, had a spotless record, and saved a man's life in 1995.
Robitaille died on Saturday, reportedly of a stroke, and hopefully he didn't die because toronto broke his heart.
TTc spokesman Brad Ross has said that despite the napping incident, Robitaille shouldn't be remembered for such a small mistake, and that "the best way to remember him is "the caring, compassionate and well humoured man" that his colleagues remember him as."
