Re: [Rant] Stupid person jumps on subway tracks....

As someone who would have been excessively late for my job had I been there, I certainly believe I wouldn't have let him walk away from the situation. Not that the boss would care, but the guy no doubt held up thousands of people.

How many people were late for interviews? Late for a job they can't be late for? Don't have an understanding boss?

I would love to know the downtime costs of the TTC per minute. And even then the scaled costs of being slow for the rest of the morning.

On that note, what exactly would the reprimand have been?

*edit - by not letting him walk away, I don't mean beat him with a lead pipe. Simply ensuring TTC officials were able to attain his company

I have these same thoughts each time I get held up in traffic because of an incident. Not for TTC, but cost to everyone held up, late deliveries etc. Lets impose an accident tax. Get David Miller on the phone

LOL...he might like that considering his latest shut down on the tax vote.

Could be tough to prove sometimes. There's much to consider in terms of a penalty/tax, etc.

Maybe you take his umbrella , and make him wear a sign for a morning in the station he messed up in. "I held you all up due to my stupidity".

what "penalty" could you impose though?

what if he wanted to retrieve the umbrella because he thought it may cause a problem with the subway system (electrical short, derailment or damage to a rail car if it gets caught in some hoses or wires and damages them).

the "punishment" could simply be that the TTC could "educate" him on safety on the subway systems by having a spokesperson give him a short tour of the lines, and info on how everything works.
