Yeah Transit has been ****ing me off for years now. You will always run into the a-hole transit cop or the jackass train/bus driver who thinks he's funny if you use the system enough. Not to mention half the train stations are a great place to get mugged if you use them at night time alone. I was at the Rundle station a few nights ago after shopping at Sunridge and some dude who couldn't have been any older then 15 started flashing a razor blade at me from across the platform doing a little "yeah I'm cool" nod. I just sort of looked at him like he was a ###### bag and I think he got the hint that I wasn't afraid of a 5'2" Latino kid with an arm hair mustache and one of his mom's lady razors... Nothing potentially dangerous besides that has ever really happened to me, but I know my bro got mugged a few times at train stations when he used to frequently use Transit, once with a gun.
If I wasn't cheap, I'd pay for gas more often and drive.
