Starting today, TTC patrons can share their monthly Metropasses as well as purchase transferable weekly passes for the first time.
The TTC hopes the changes will attract about 4 million new riders a year. But the plan will cost the system $7.3 million per year in lost revenue.
Under the plan, only one person will be allowed to use a Metropass at a time. The price of the Metropass, which comes with free parking at TTC lots, is $98.75 for adults and $83.25 for seniors or students.
The new weekly pass will cost $30 for adults and $23.75 for students and seniors. It will have a swipe strip, like the Metropass, for use in turnstiles.

from today's globe. it's a simpson's episode come to life. or the inspiration for one, rather. I guess...
Croaking frogs
Wildlife agents in France are trying to exterminate a plague of giant Californian bullfrogs, which are threatening to disrupt the ecology of several regions including the Gironde and Dordogne. Released as a joke 37 years ago, the aggressive and voracious amphibians -- which are inedible themselves -- eat other frogs, fish, lizards and even small birds. After trying several unsuccessful methods of extermination, including electrocution, nets and the draining of ponds, game-keepers settled upon hunting their quarry at night with rifles; the bullfrogs are easier to pick off after dark because their eyes reflect light.
That's a BRILLIANT idea!!! And VERY handy for when people come to visit for a few days at a time. I'm sure Chris will LOVE this when he visits from the cruise ship!
Thank you Mayor David Miller. Thank you Councillor Howard Moscoe.
