The FareBox Attendant posting is most likely evenings/nights, maybe 3 nights a week X 4 hours a night or similar to start... At any or all of the 7 depots in the region...Quote from: "Superchecker"

I encouraged more posting style like that from him, but it's not in his nature...

I like Calgary. Edmonton, and Toronto transit where one fee allows you to go anywhere in the city and transfer from buses to rapid transit and vice versa.

The same with Maryland/DC/Virginia where I used to be. You just buy a card that you can use on bus and train. The initial purchase of it is $10.00 and then you top it up to the amount of your choice. Some people actually put $500.00 worth in it. I've seen it done. Back there, we call it the SmarTrip card. You can register it online and manage it, top it up online too with the payment method of your choice.Quote from: "@realAzhyaAryola"
That is better than Vancouver..
Public transit there is expensive and so is gasoline.

Three zones cash is like $5.75; on a loaded Compass Card $4.50. Valid for 90 minutes.

They should be amalgamated like Toronto's transit service which is bigger than Vancouver's..
You can can transfer freely anywhere in the country's largest city between street cars, buses, Handy buses, the RT, and subway lines at any time of day or night and for a lower price than Vancouver.

If I go to Calgary I would use car2go to roam the city. According to fashionista the C Train goes to the Calgary Zoo.Quote from: "TheVancouverGuy"
I have never been on transit in any other city in Canada besides Vancouver. It is expensive here. Much cheaper in Israel.

If someone still lives with their parents, is semi retired or has a spouse working full time, it might be what they want..
A full time job doesn't fit every walk of life.

Right now, I don't think I need an extended leave. I can book off sick if needed. More than three days would require a doctors note, and sick checks often get delayed too..
He was happily married, two teen boys.

Yea. No bus service next wed-fri. Thousands of people here will be affected. Bus drivers are not wearing their uniforms. Some go to work wearing cow suits. They get very little breaks. Have to make it to the station/final stop in time or they will have to give up break time to start the next run at its scheduled time. Traffic is bad. People get angry when buses are late. A lot of bus exchange stations do not have any break room. Just a washroom.
More lounges are being built. Bus drivers need to be treated better.
