I've seen transit cops ticket canvass the train car I've been on twice in 3 years commuting downtown and both times were off peak. Delaying hiring new transit cops won't improve the enforcement issue either. If people really need that money or just don't respect the way the city uses it expect to not fully realize that revenue anyway.

Interesting... I've always wondered about that. Before I had always taken a bus to catch the c-train (so it was a moot point), but if you're only taking the train, you could probably get away with it pretty easily. I mean, when the C-train is packed to the gills during AM and PM rush hour, the odds of having C-Train cops actually checking for tickets is probably slim to none. I suppose they could still try to catch people on the way home though (i.e. standing at the doors of the C-train platform checking for tickets)... not that I condone that type of thing
P.S. It sounds like they were hiring 18
additional transit cops, but that number got reduced to 9. So the actual number of transit cops will actually go up...
