I find it's nice to tip the driver in cash too, so that they get 100% of the tip. I suppose that would be one advantage of Uber, is getting rid of having to tipping.
Yeah that still sounds awful.Beck taxi is all automated on the phone now. I call and then press "1" to confirm "I want to be picked up now" and then "1" again to confirm my address, which I don't even wait for the robot voice to read out. The call takes 15 seconds, tops.
I don't use Uber because it's cheaper, but because it's better than an actual cab.Uber and Lyft WERE cheaper. Now they are almost as much (if not more) than an actual cab.
How do you know how often they drive?Why do you drive 2x a month?
It was apparently an accurate guesstimationHow do you know how often they drive?

My favourite is the completely pointless swapping of the 85B and 85C.I have not confirmed the details, but a poster over at CPTDB "Xtrasteve" has posted what appears to be a comprehensive list of the TTC September Service changes.
If accurate, I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Whatever cretin keeps instituting these changes must hold their ridership in high contempt.
Ironically I used to take this bus and I appreciated that they added the lettersI can see how the 69 having two distinct routings could cause some confusion, even if they both ended up at the same spot sooner or later. If you wanted to go to Birchmount and Sadler, for example, it would save you a hell of a lot of time to get on the Birchmount branch, rather than doing the scenic tour via Warden. So assigning branch numbers for optimized wayfinding makes sense.
What I can't fathom is how exactly changing the 85B and 85C around helps anyone. People are used to the way things are now, forcing them to relearn it, and gain NOTHING in the process, is done solely out of malice. There is no alternative explanation.
