The 29 route has even earned the nickname "29 Sufferin" among riders thanks to its chronic unreliability and slow service.The proposed changes that the City is considering could dramatically improve travel for the tens of thousands of daily commuters who use the bus routes on a daily basis, though."Dufferin Street is one of the busiest transit corridors in the city, with over 40,000 people riding the 29 and 929 Toronto Transit Commission buses every weekday — even more during major events," the City says.In response, Toronto and the TTC are considering the implementation of dedic...

Given that two of the "Big Three" carriers have already jacked their fees to $75, it seems safe to assume that Telus will soon follow suit.All of these hikes come in spite of the fact that the CRTC's recent amendments to the Telecommunications Act prohibit charging fees "related to the activation or modification of a telecommunications service plan." Nonetheless, carriers have generally been raising their connection fee prices by $5 to $10 on a near-annual basis.Bell also just chang...
