My work actually reimburses me for the TTC pass, so it doesn't cost me a thing.<br /><br />I tried to negotiate another benefit (ie. health insurance) instead of the TTC pass when I was presented with the contract, but they didn't go for it -- despite the fact that it would have cost them less out of pocket.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634680003897913849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389787953310556470.post-70175329142545401722011-01-17T19:01:16.399-05:002011-01-17T19:01:16.399-05:00I just stumbled across your blog (a link to a link...I just stumbled across your blog (a link to a link, etc.)<br />You really should consider ditching the TTC pass for a bicycle. I know this sounds crazy (OMG! Traffic! Snow! Freeze your ass off temperatures!) but it's not really. My wife and I both cycled from Main and Danforth to downtown for ten years. No gym membership fees, no TTC passes, no parking fees, etc. Start in late spring (late May is nice). Plan your route. Allow extra time. Take a City of Toronto CanBike course - $75 last time I checked- if you aren't comfortable on the roads.<br />Many offices downtown now have excellent cycling facilities in place (Telus for one). Think about the savings...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
