What if you're a shitty customer?
maldahleh • 0 points •
Doesn't really matter in my opinion, if you're so bad a customer then they ban you from the platform completely like how a store can have you trespassed, other that than, you're paying Uber for a service and they're delivering the service.
When I'm paying for a service, I shouldn't have to worry about talking to the driver, etc to make sure I get a good rating. All I'm paying for is a trip from point A to B, not a thing more and so rating doesn't make sense. Cab companies don't have a rating system and they probably get much worse customers than Uber.

If you aren't a shitty customer you don't have to worry about it.

I don't use Uber anyway, so doesn't really matter to me anyway, customer ratings is just backwards in my opinion.
Goes against any common sense practice in business, where customer satisfaction is supposed to come above anything else.

I chose Canada because at that time I was a teenager and it seemed like a better version of the US and Drake was from Toronto so I went to Toronto.
I doubt that, a teenager likely wouldn't even meet the criteria to immigrate here. If it was your parents that made the decision, then I doubt they did it for the reasons you listed.
kushanddota • 12 points •
No, my parents have never been to Canada. I went to college in Toronto so it was my choice.
maldahleh • -8 points •
Ok so the reason you came to Canada was college and not drake?
You implying you came here because of drake makes it sound like you didn't have a choice in the decision as I wouldn't imagine an adult would base their decision off something like that.

Do they identify people using camera footage? I was just stopped today, I didnt have a transfer(forgot to take one) but I paid. I think he thought I was trying to not pay. Will I be fined? He was really pissy about it, and ofc I was scared and didnt explain anything.
maldahleh • 6 points •
You need proof of payment, if you weren't issued a ticket, inspector was being nice, he was obviously pissy because they always get the "I forgot a transfer but I paid" line.
They won't go back through cameras to look if you paid or not, too much of a hassle for them, if you don't provide POP then they can assume you didn't pay, POP is required.

Carry a bus transfer you can flash at the collector booth and take a transfer at the station in case you run into fare inspectors. Also play it cool and know where you can walk in via the bus bays. Spadina, Bathurst, Main Street, and Ossington are really good for this. And obviously have a token on hand so you can pay if you have to. Walking through the turnstile and passing your hand over the bucket is a good technique too. As is paying with a dime.
You won't ride completely for free but you can stretch a fare pretty far if you're smart. Don't take any unnecesary risks.

Lol another fare avoider, pay your fare like everyone else, people like you are why fares keep going up.

Nowhere, there's no bad areas, sure some areas are better than others but I wouldn't say there's any I'd avoid.
Obviously, you should just be smart about it, always stick to well-lit main routes (don't take shortcuts), don't walk with phone out and headphones in, etc. This applies everywhere though, you could be in the best area, and you might get mugged if you're taking a dark, unlit shortcut with your phone out.
bunsofcheese • -2 points •
if there are no bad areas, you should be able to walk with your phone out...right?
maldahleh • 4 points •
well that wouldn't constitute a bad area in my opinion, you can, but if it's late at night, you're taking a dark, unlit shortcut and are walking around with phone out and no awareness of surroundings then there's a chance you get mugged but that applies to any neighbourhood really in any city.

I'm curious to know if transit agencies in other countries have something similar set up. Like NYC or another big city.
maldahleh • 3 points •
A ton of transit agencies do it.

Let's assume you're working at $14 an hour (this is still not the minimum wage), assuming 40 hours a week, that's $29000 a year. After tax you're left with around $25000.
Now on average that's $2000 a month and on average a lower end 1-bedroom goes for around $1500-1600 (the average for all 1-bedrooms is probably closer to $1800-1900). You'd barely have any money left over ($500-600) and you'd be living paycheque to paycheque. Especially when considering utilities, phone bill, transportation, etc.
I'm pretty sure most people on minimum wage are living with roommates.

So is December a pretty dull month then? I'm wondering because I'm trying to organize an event for high school students, and I don't know if they'd be distracted by exams or other activities over the next 2-3 weeks until school is done for the break.
maldahleh • 1 point •
December typically isn't a busy month, some classes might have a test before the break but for the most part there usually isn't that much of a work load.
I went to a semestered high school (which is the majority of schools) though so I can't speak for non-semestered ones, but I believe non-semestered ones have their exams at the end of the year (in June).
098d8j3dj83h • 1 point •
Great, that helps! Thanks.
On exams taking place at the end of January...is this somewhat standard across all semestered high schools?
When does the next academic term start in that case - immediately after the exams? I was under the impression that the next term starts immediately after the Christmas break, but maybe I was wrong.
maldahleh • 2 points •
It's colleges and universities where first semester ends right before the Christmas break with exams taking place before the break then second semester beginning right after the break and running through April.
With high schools, generally year starts in September, first semester runs through the end of January with exams taking place then, then second semester generally begins the first week of February and runs through the end of June.

My friend told me to avoid the Etobicoke area and some other places. But other than that, it’s good...

Etobicoke is massive, and I’d say most of it is far from “bad”.

The thing is, I only have a Saskatchewan license and I don't think they will allow it.
maldahleh • 3 points •
Why do you not switch over? I'm pretty sure you're only allowed to have your old license for 60 days after moving, after that you must switch it over.
maldahleh • 5 points •
It's fine, there's no real bad areas, you just need to practice common sense, stick to main well-lit roads, don't walk with phone out and headphones in (be aware of surroundings), etc.
Though this applies to any part of the city really, especially at night.

Cost decrease just doesn't make sense fiscally with how budgeting works today. It has to increase as salaries increase, and all other expenses increase.
And low salaries for employees entrusted with public safety isn't something I condone.
Edit: What's annoying me here is a student is having to face a decision where they have to steal to better themselves.

Ok! What's considered "in" the intersection? Over the white line, over the pedestrian crossing, or within the intersection?
It's as soon as ANY part of the car crosses the pedestrian walkway area.
For the purpose of running a red light, in the actual intersection, which is bordered by the edge of the curb.
Not the curb, as soon as any part of the vehicle passes the pedestrian crosswalk area of the intersection then you are considered in the intersection.
