There is something quintessentially Canadian about this. Where else would the transit union organize public meetings so the public can bitch about the transit union? What a great idea.
It may not solve problems, but at least both sides will feel that somebody is listening.
And by the way, I could understand the complaints about the strollers on the buses -- I have never seen so many large strollers in my life as the ones we saw parents using in downtown Toronto. But Toronto parents really have no other choice -- you can't be dawdling along holding a three-year old's hand on those busy city streets. And a flimsy little umbrella stroller is just not safe, because some power-walking adult or crowd of texting teens won't see it and they'll trip over it.
