TTC Strike - Part 2

Here’s my follow up about the possible TTC Strike.

Global News has arranged a “Free Ride Bus” for stranded passengers getting their way to their destination (only if the bus is equipped with a GPS system). Keep on a lookout for that bus in the Downtown Core.

Carpooling options: many third party providers are offering some carpooling services. The providers are listed as follows:

• Carpool Zone
  
• eRideShare
• Smart Commute

Cycling is also an option to commute around the City. Many reserved (HOV) lanes around major thorough fares are all open for cars with three or more persons. Reserved lanes around the Highway 403 and 404 corridor are all open for cars with two or more persons. If you are caught using the lanes as a solo driver, the OPP will definitely stop you and issue you a $110CDN ticket and three demerit points on your license.

Many neighbouring transit commissions and GO transit have posted their own contingency plans regarding the strike. Details can be founded on my last blog posting. Right now as I speak, the 4:00p.m. (Eastern Time) deadline has passed. I’ll keep you guys posted for further details (but with my exams starting tomorrow, I’ll try my best to keep plugged in).

Many media outlets (such as the CBC, Global TV, CityTV, CP24, CHFI 98.1FM, Mix 99.9FM, 92.5 JACK FM, Newstalk 1010 CFRB, 680 News, CBC Radio One 99.1FM and many others) are going to be on the air as early as 5a.m. tomorrow morning. Hold on to your breath, guys. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. As the note mentioned on Marianas Trench’s music video, “Decided to Break It”:

“Failure is not an option. It’s inevitable.”
