I rode both ways without seeing an inspector. It makes me wonder if this happens again whether I'll skip the ticket and take my chances...there really should be a way to buy the ticket on the train.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-68778830316125317022014-08-24T22:06:33.765-04:002014-08-24T22:06:33.765-04:00If you want to stay ahead of the fare inspectors, ...If you want to stay ahead of the fare inspectors, just get some radios (or police scanners), set it to their channel, and speak some gibberish that will divert their attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-56477575579545656232014-08-24T18:06:53.580-04:002014-08-24T18:06:53.580-04:00@2:33 anon

That's fine if they're glorified tour guides and assist women with massive strollers boarding the train, who aren't using the accessibility coach (as illustrated in Saturday's edition 23Aug2014 of The Star GT3. I think they'd be more useful asking people to learn to park without taking up 1 1/2 parking spaces, not parking in the Fire Zones of Kiss n Ride and securing the GO lots from crime. My car has been vandalized twice and a fellow commuter had her van stollen.
