Also, what does demographics have to do with it.  Many people ride transit irrespective of their socially economic status.  You statement implies that people boarding the train in the south are not as well off as people boarding a train in North Waterloo....  I board the train with my family at Fairview, I can advise that my income is well above that of the median income of Waterloo..

They didn't ticket anyone, they threatened to ticket people, as I recall, I didn't see any stories of actual tickets. And yes, using valuable mall resources and not patronizing the mall *is* a problem, that *should* be ticketed. That doesn't mean tha the mall value GRT passengers who arrive at the mall.

"Many people ride transit regardless of their social status"....yes, absolutely, but a) many people do not, and b) it's crystal clear to everyone that not everyone thinks this, so don't pretend otherwise, that isn't remotely what taylorbb implied.
I don't tell you how to think, so please don't tell me how to think !!!
And why don't you let Taylorbb respond themself ?
