• 10:01:43: Funny, I recall @shelleycarroll getting praised & @iamdavidmiller getting constant complaints in press. (re: Del Grande http://is.gd/kuckO )
  
• 10:31:37: RT @goldsbie: TTC FARES GO UP 10 CENTS FEBRUARY 1ST.
  
• 10:34:08: RT @TTCchair: No one on our team or our city wants a #TTC fare increase of any kind. We are endeavoring to avoid it.
  
• 10:41:11: Will get ALL the press and chatter, then be canceled to rave reviews. RT @larrylarry: is fare increase all smoke to hide other fee hikes?
  
• 10:51:24: RT @robsalerno: At least when Miller raised #TTC fares, the service levels went UP, @TOMayorFord. #TOCouncil
  
• 10:51:35: RT @onshi: @kellygrant1 Gee, $5 mo. x 12 = $60. Drivers get a $60 "car tax" rebate, transit riders a $60 metropass hike. Thanks a lot, C ...
  
• 10:58:27: .@TOMayorFord Can you explain why $60 #TTC fare increase is OK, but $60 car tax is not? #TOpoli #TOcouncil
  
• 11:20:14: For clarity: I 100% support increases to water and garbage fees. Those have been a free ride forever, reality must be accepted.
  
• 11:21:21: For clarity: I also find #TTC fare hike (possibly bluff) to be OK (not great). Better than service cuts (though that's happening anyway).
  
• 11:22:15: For clarity: "respect for taxpayers" doesn't mean lying. But the campaign featured lies, and the budget features cuts-by-another-name.

• 12:36:31: RT @larrylarry: BLOG + MAP: Ford's TTC *major* service cuts - http://is.gd/kuBM6 #TOpoli
  
• 12:59:46: .@TTCchair @bradTTC Can one of you confirm/deny that there are unallocated rush hour buses? i.e. Can service be shifted to rush hour at all?
  
• 12:59:51: RT @larrylarry: Dear Toronto MSM, RE: TTC Fare Hike talk: IT'S A TRAP.
  
• 13:26:03: Upsetting. This isn't a game. MT @goldsbie: Vaughan is of opinion that Ford deliberately creating debt crisis to justify massive cuts in '12

• 14:55:21: Nice photo of streetcar in the snow here: http://is.gd/kvaOF - enjoy it. Could be just buses in a few years. *sigh*

• 16:03:55: Question to ponder: the VRT is gone, can't bring it back. Is a fare increase OK because it helps city? Or evil no matter the consequences?
  
• 16:08:30: RT @jm_mcgrath: @c_9 Like asking "Transit City is dead; Sheppard subway ext. better than nothing?" Separating issues doesn't make sense.
