The TTC Not the Better Way at 4:00 am

I just need to vent. I was on the TTC for those of you that don’t know the TTC stands for the Toronto Transit Commission. The TTC is the bus service people in the Greater Toronto Area use. Anyway its 4:ooam and for the past month whenever I go out downtown to Toronto I usually take a cab home because I just want to avoid taking the damn 4:00am bus. Tonight I said screw it, I need to save money so I decided to take the 4:00am bus because I needed to save some cash. For over a month I avoided the late night TTC bus  because I just don’t want to hear the drama on the late night bus. I swear people are so fucked up early in the morning LOL!

The reason I try to avoid the TTC at 4:00 am is because there are always these young heterosexual males and yes they tend to be young black men that have to be so loud and obnoxious on the the bus. I know some people will say I am “stereotyping” and all. My Goodness every single time I’m on the late night bus its always these young black guys trying to act “macho” and “tough” at 4:00am. Now if they are so “cool” as they blast their rap music at 4:00am wouldn’t they have their own ride? Why are they on public transit? Don’t they know people are tired? Why talk so loud on the bus at 4:00am? Don’t they know some of us are a bit drunk a bit tired and just want to go home and to bed? And why talk so loud on the cell phone at 4:00am? Do they think everyone wants to hear their conversation?And why do they have to be rude to fellow citizens on the TTC at 4:oo am? I ask why? Why make a scene on the TTC at 4:oo am? Okay, see, look at me I am even using scatalogical language. Excuse me for swearing.

Anyhow, early this morning an elderly man was trying to “chat” with these guys I don’t know why but they were pretty rude and disrespectful to the older man. Now I don’t care how they dress and talk but these guys had to be in their 2os they were not teenagers they were grown men. I mind my own business and I was glad that they weren’t on the bus for long. After they left the bus the ride home was smooth but people were definitely pissed.

    Totally agree with you. I never get why these types insist that we listen to whatever is blaring from their speakers or whatever they have to say. On the other hand a bus full of chatty teenage girls can be sickening…

    At 4am though one’s tolerance to stupidity is zero.
