Small stuff<BR/>I've made a mistake before as well. <BR/>I quite often return my library books late.<BR/>Guess what, I suck it up and pay the "darn" fine.<BR/>It speaks of a persons character when they decide to take a fine to court, don't mention it when they run for public office and in fact talk about transit a lot and don't mention their existing COURT date.<BR/>All of a sudden they are trying to say that they are SPEAKING up for low income individuals.<BR/>I'm low income and I pay my fines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439673360261416.post-28754403485216572772008-11-04T15:33:00.000-08:002008-11-04T15:33:00.000-08:00Not really following the Robertson story, I see he...Not really following the Robertson story, I see he paid a 1 zone fare, instead of a 2 zone fare. Simple mistake.<BR/><BR/>In truth, he did not evade the fare, rather paid for a 1 zone fare, this begs many questions.<BR/><BR/>1) What time of day did the incident happen? Was he still under the impression that mid-day off-peak fares were eliminated a few years back?<BR/><BR/>2) Was he a frequent user of transit or was this trip a one shot affair and he was unfamiliar with the fare payment method.<BR/><BR/>3) It seems everyone in politics have free transit passes, was he entitled to one?<BR/><BR/>4) The $183 fines does seem rather high for a 1 zone mistake and such onerous rules makes me not want to take transit. I'll wager Mr. Robertsons fine and public disgrace will make just use the car next time.<BR/><BR/>True story: My wife took a bus to work 2 weeks ago on a Saturday. Unsure of the fare (it's $5 peak fare weekdays) for a off-peak fare, she asked the bus driver.<BR/><BR/>The bus driver replied "What the hell you think it is" and was later heard to mutter, "dumb bitch" after she paid $3.00 (all the coin she had).<BR/><BR/>If this is the way Transclunk operates then I say good riddance to them and good luck Gregor in court, these twits deserve a slap in the face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439673360261416.post-31651966297142550912008-11-04T09:31:00.000-08:002008-11-04T09:31:00.000-08:00"He sure is cute."Perhaps my taste is all in my mo..."He sure is cute."<BR/><BR/>Perhaps my taste is all in my mouth, but I do not find this character "cute" - or attractive in any way.

So what if he made a a $1.00 mistake. I believe him when he explains it the way he does.
