news Spotted: Riding the Rocket



SPOTTED BY: Joana Duque (photo by German Aguirre).

WHERE: Queen and Jarvis.

WHEN: This morning’s, er, commute.

WHAT: Though the TTC often laments, with some justification, that too many riders are evading paying their fares, they generally have out-of-date transfers in mind. This, however, is a whole new way of circumventing fare collectors. (New to Toronto, at least. Skylarking, or subway surfing, was a problem in New York a few years ago, though it seems to have largely faded.)

Hope you made it to where you were going safely, guy, and everyone else—definitely please don’t try this. Ever.
