I take pride in efficient services provided by taxation, and have extreme contempt for arbitrary taxation to support those that are inefficient, sometimes arrogantly so. In Toronto, the folks that collect change at the TTC (i.e Metro) stations, earn over $100K a year if they work over time. On my last visit - I had to stand in line for 20 minutes merely to buy a token with change. There were no change machines and no means for me to use even a debit/credit card. The 'pass' that they offer (i.e. you load it up, more for commuters) cannot even be bought by the people selling tokens. It's absurd and outrageous. Granted there is some overlap of systems going on as they move to the new pass system - it's still stupendously insulting.
