    - :( -- nm - kelly Nov 17, 10:22 2

  - So you're to blame! You'll get my bill for $17 per month in increased fares -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 10:20 6
    - but it hurts like h*ll when the fare collector locks that iron turnstile on you when you're running through -- nm - lone canadian Jays fan Nov 17, 10:23
    - *puts this on the stack of other bills I can't afford right now* -- nm - z6rk Nov 17, 10:22 4
      - GO is like $7 each way for me plus TTC makes transit about $20/day. - z6rk Nov 17, 10:24 1
