Sometimes I find my giggles in plain sight. Today I picked up my subway pass for the month. The Toronto Transit Commission has added some “features” to make the cards more secure. I find the sticker amusing as hell. The TTC had this to say on their website on June 17… From TTC.ca: The Toronto [...]
