Oh my god. This person needs to be elected Chairman of the Board
Stumbled across this blog post.
She discusses the imbalance of GO Transit's Twitter strategy (or lack thereof).
This person gets it. Of course, she does work in communications...
What's this clear liquid running out of my eyes? Are these... are these ... my god ... they are tears of joy.

Did you score a free yogurt?
I think it was Tuesday?
At the Oshawa station free Liberte Greek yogurt was handed out - strawberry flavor.
I just opened mine and this stuff tastes amazing. But did anyone read the nutritional info on the side? 21 grams of sugar in a serving! But damn this stuff is good.
So, GO Transit, keep on allowing for this kind of marketing and promotion. Don't be shy to approach the LCBO. You have my blessing.

I'll just toss this under here. No one will notice
And they want to serve us food on the train.
Right.

I love it when you guys perform reconnaissance
Because you find people like this turkey.
One shoe on. One shoe off.
Rough day in IT, I see.
However, your first world problems don't warrant you hijacking all that space and throwing your feet on the seat.
Stair Hoggin'
So what's the consensus on this practice?
It's never really bothered me but it irritates a few of you. I don't particularly sit on the stairs myself but how safe is this, especially if the train had to come to a sudden stop? There's nothing in front of these people to buffer them, like the person in the quad opposite you who is your personal airbag.
Yes. Personal. Airbag.

I just had to tell you about my experience riding on the Go Bus yesterday. I was shocked and horrified by the behaviour of a passenger.
I know, I know, I should be used to the donkeys after riding the Go bus most weekdays for the last 3 years.
They were doing some sort of useless survey on the bus about how you get to the station, where you take the bus from, etc. etc.
Well, the poor woman, who was doing the surveys was seating in the front row, taking up two seats, with a boatload of clipboards and a flurry of other items.
Well, she got an earful from this donkey who was insistent that since he paid for a ticket, and she was taking up two seats, that she needed to move all her stuff
so he could sit in "his regular seat" in the front row. He could not go further back as his hip hurts and he is a paying customer.
Meanwhile the rest of us are all waiting outside to get on and just get home.
After about 5 to 10 minutes she finally moved all her stuff, which she was trying to organize, to let him sit in "his" seat.
I have to say that the bus was half empty and all he had to do was go back maybe two rows and he had a seat.
I mean, really, suck it up cupcake. What a whiny, ignorant man. She was just trying to do her job and there were plenty of seats, and near to the front of the bus.
My five year old is so much more mature than this nasty jerk!
I made a rather loud comment about ignorant people as I was finally able to get past to go find a seat for myself.
Unfortunately for me this ass is usually at my stop. Oh, joy to me!

WHAT?
C'mon .... is the dude autistic or suffering from aspergers because then I can say, ok, it's a mental thing...
That's just wrong, rude and low. Poor woman. Did anyone come to her defence? The bus driver???

The bus driver tried to get the ass to move back and take another seat. His feet were glued to the spot and he would not move.
The woman was trying to be very polite and hold her ground but he simply would not move, so she moved all of her work, just so we could finally go.
There were several comments to the effect of "are you serious" when he was going on and on.
I really felt bad for the lady just trying to do her job. I'm sure she doesn't get paid enough to take that kind of crap!

How to piss off 40 people on a GO bus. Like a boss.
Last night, while taking off my coat, I had the unfortunate experience of dropping my Presto card and my BlackBerry on the floor of the bus - while it was moving AND turning a sharp corner. You know what that means, right? Everything slides.
It was a total and complete "eff me" moment.
In order to find the card and the phone, I needed light. I headed up to the front to ask the driver to turn on the on-board lights so I could try to find my shit.
Holy Christ, I didn't realize I was on a bus full of fucking vampires. A few ladies were annoyed the lights were on. One guy who was in a coma was angry I woke him up so I could check under his feet.
Here's the thing. I was NOT HAPPY about being one of THOSE PEOPLE.
I must have apologized 100 times. Here I am, crawling around on the floor of a fucking public bus in my dress pants and bare hands trying to find a goddamn phone and card, and listening to people sigh and grumble. This is not my idea of a good time!
Only one person helped - this super nice guy with a small flashlight on his keychain.
I found my card a few rows back and my phone was wedged under a seat against a metal leg bracket, closer to the front of the bus.
I put everything in my bag and sat down. It wasn't my proudest moment.

They do this because they know they won't be towed
See those diagonal striped lines? They mean: "YOU CAN'T PARK HERE. THIS SPACE IS NEEDED IN THE EVENT AN AMBULANCE OR FIRE TRUCK NEEDS TO MANEUVER AROUND PARKED CARS". But these two clowns don't care about you, or your life, or the rules. According to DF, there were plenty of legal spots available at the Ajax GO lot but these two illegal spots are closer to the platform.
Not sure what just happened here
Just two drunk dudes "fighting" on a Union Station GO platform one summer's night.
