Free Bus Rides Forever!!!!

I'm not going to pay to ride the bus anymore, I've decided. It's frightening to realize I've doled out a thousand dollars a year to ride the bus when so many people ride for free or their passes are never checked. All you have to do is be a drunken, piss-soaked idiot. Bus drivers just turn a blind eye and cower, even when the rider becomes verbally abusive and threatening to other passengers. When you are living pay cheque to pay cheque, a thousand dollars can go a long way to ensure you get proper food and clothing, so why should I waste it on nothing? Last time I checked, it wasn't the Vancouver Socialised "pay what you can" bus ride. If it was, I wouldn't be paying as much as I am for a constantly late, over stuffed urinal on wheels. Get your shit together Trans Stink! Maybe transfer some of the cash from fat CEO paycheques, and get the bus drivers some protective screens so they can enforce fare compliance without the fear of getting the crap kicked out of them. The last driver I spoke with said there are 4 assaults a week on average to bus drivers. Fucking embarrassment to our "world class city" (SI)

Are part of the ecosystem---they tend to only do violence to assholes! Think of them as God's Avenging Army.

That's a good idea, dude. And when the gel-haired, tatted up fuck-headed transit cops, with the stink of energy drinks evident on their breath, decide to grope and fondle you while asking for your absent fare receipt, (or ask if you'd like to somehow "blow off" the fine) I'll be sitting on the bus laughing and laughing and laughing as they hand you your $173 ticket.

theres alot of problems in vancouver, including finacial stress for just about everyone especially many bus riders and otherkind of rage issues. also there could possibly less assaults if everyone wasnt getting so offended over 2.75. the stress of not having it on you but havibng to get to work on time, the stress of asking for free ride and getting a no or a dirty look. i like the bus drivers alot and sympathize with them, to watch the bus fair and drive the bus? these guys arn't fucking cops. they end up being outreach and having to patrol peoples safety. but anyways what I really think would help would be like a city wide sytem of pay the bus, like the upass but but for the whole of vancouver. and I get drivers are whiners and broke too, but this system would be helpful. and drunks should just shut the fuck up cept on the 99.

Your post was funny,a urinal on wheels! Classic. And yes a lotta people would join you if (as a previous poster said) you DO get caught and have to pay a 173 dollar ticket! I just think that it should be like Seattle and have the fare 2-3 dollars per zone and have the buses run efficiently (every 15 mins) plus your ticket lasts 3 HOURS! None of this 1.5 hour shit.
And why do I have to pay 4 dollars to Horseshoe Bay and 5.50 to the ferry in delta when it is the same distance (1 hour). Trans Stink indeed.

I personally don't care

If you don't pay, and if the great unwashed don't pay either. Don't pay. I could give a shit. The fares will still be super expensive, ever rising, no matter who pays. This is your city. Do as you do.

Come on. You're envious of the piss-soaked bums? So bent out of shape that you, who can afford it, have found a new role model to emulate?

I guess it's not fair to you, but come on. Would you trade places with those guys?

So you are not going to pay anymore? So you are a fraud artist? Right?
