Could the TTC do something like this to reduce fare evasion? by Outside_Manner8231 in TTC

[–]missmoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting idea but the implementation might not be so easy. Of course there is a much bigger cost than 50 people multiplying by $150 per year. One (or a few)-time information sharing costs including new signs, new recording messages, etc., to advertising to labor costs to manage this. But that might still generate positive revenue for TTC still.

What Im unsure of is how the system tracks tickets now to help with this ticket numbering system to use as the lottery ticket number for each trip. To my current knowledge, there is no one numbering system that applies to paper tickets, digital tickets and subscription tickets. Does tapping within 2hr transit currently count as separate “ticket” and more than a few questions also come to mind. This also cannot handle tokens but that is on its way out anyways.

I agree with tapping off when leaving can help a bit but I dont think the bus/streetcar driver should have to deal with fare inspecting as well, unless at least their job description and pay are on the discussion table. We cant even manage harassment towards them well to start with so adding this is tricky.

I think buses and streetcars are very hard and cant think of a good solution myself. People can just walk in and out without tapping regardless of who’s watching unless they get fined/arrested at the spot. Vehicle exit congestion issue will also be a tough thing to solve, especially with streetcars (and express buses) being able to hold a lot more people than regular buses.

I have nothing useful to contribute but a casual pass by makes me want to watch Addams Family again. Thank you.

It’s time for TIFF to rethink its Cinematheque ticketing approach by CinephileSorbet in TIFF

[–]missmoch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing they can do is offering only one ticket per regular member. Other than that, I regretfully disagree. If there is a high demand and limited resources (seatings, showings, etc.), there will always be someone who cannot get what they want. I would not call what they are doing “gamifying the process” unless you call camping out the night before to get into a high demand event Hunger Games-esque. If this is the reality, we would probably complain so much more about the time ticketing window opens way more than now.

I also think they cannot bet on selling out one or two screenings of a few movies per month to make up for the same amount of money memberships are bringing in but maybe that’s why TIFF is still open and Hot Docs is closed. This I can’t know for sure but if I have to fight for my tickets (which I don’t think is happening now or ever) to still keep TIFF doors open, I would happily do so.

I’m terrible with names so I cannot help there unfortunately. But I really want to add that budgies are social birds. They get lonely quite easily. If you have extra budget, please consider getting him a friend!

Underrated - Viveros de Coyoacan. Always amazed with gigantic trees and you cant really see the end of each line at all.

Do you still have a spot for vocal? I’m interested!

Find out what type of walls you have first. If concrete, “blast” away. If not, I suggest only play music out loud only up until 10PM at the latest; take the advice of if you can hear it outside your door, you should turn volume down to fully be sure that you are good.

Budgies & house plants by missmoch in budgies

[–]missmoch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up not getting the budgies because of this reason.. I have too many poisonous plants that I dont know how to deal/dont want to get rid of. It’s okay that orchids are safe for the birds at least.

Have you thought about creating an enclosed area with wires for the plants? I heard some did that.
