ONLY 58 made 100K?? that's ALL omg stop the presses....
The TTC has a team of over 12,000 employees. Most are operators, however the Commission also employs supervisors, custodians and a wide range of skilled trades people who work on vehicles and critical subway and surface infrastructure.
In October 2008, TTC was named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc., which was announced by the Toronto Star newspaper.
58 out 12000 made the kind of money you are ranting about. Dude get your facts straight before you spew out your verbal diarrhea

$50K a year to...drive a fricken BUS? The only qualifications necessary are a driver's licence and a clean record? Holy crap....
Dude it is what it is. They were negotiated contracts. In your world if one of your clients makes a contract with you for $30,000 to finish his entire basement and once you complete it you approach him to get paid, he turns to you and hands you $15000. and tells you "dude you're an uneducated contractor that can put some wood and nails together, this is more than enough for you now get lost!"
I doubt you would calmly say yes Sir and thank you very much. NO, you would come out swinging I'm sure.

No, Mike Holmes doesn't feel like a purple nurple, he's an idiot that people like you pray to and kiss his ass. He is in DREAM LAND and people like you don't realize it.
See, just in case you don't realize it, he has a TV show...get it? TV show.....but then again, you probably think Star Trek and the X files are real too......
I know very well it's a TV show but the reason I bring him up is that I know you think he at times unfairly criticizes contractors.
I am aware of him being able to give away free service and product because many of the suppliers donate it and in turn their companies get advertised on his show.
He is now doing the same with Home Inspectors. The rub is the inspectors association or whatever they call it had invited him to a presentation. 6 months later he opened up his own inspection company and started his new show to cut down the normal type of home inspection. I hear his company charges about $900.00 for an inspection in comparison to $300.00 from the average company. One of my closest friends works for Pillar and Post Inspection and was telling me this tidbit.
Dude I'm well aware of Mike Holmes but what you do with the TTC drivers is the same. You are on any unionized worker that you feel is overpaid regardless of knowing anything about their daily duties or stress of the job. All you look at is their perks and pay. Give it a rest and if it's such a good job STFU and go apply!

Oh, and a head's up? You make any attempt to piss on me in real life and you'd end up in the hospital or worse......trust me on that!
You're so predictable it's not funny. If you trip on a brick, knock yourself out and my bullmastiff comes, lifts his leg and pisses on you it's not my fault? You knew I was holding it and had to run inside to take a whiz in a toilet like most human beings do so next time watch wear you step.
One more thing, how can you be so sure you can handle someone you never met? Underestimating someone you have never met in person and haven't been able to size up is the biggest mistake any trained fighter would not make. I'm just saying, be very careful because one never knows what lies behind door number 1.
