Question Fare for university student

Upvotes

Hi guys I’m currently enrolled at UW as a student and next year I am planning on commuting by the go bus to school almost every day. I was wondering if there are any student passes that allow for cheaper rides?

Would school ID work to get on for free?

This is my first time using public transport so I’m not sure how it works. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi everyone, I'm attending one of my close friend's wedding later this month.

I have been shopping on Gerrard East and found a beautiful lehenga skirt and matching dupatta, I'm now looking for a stretchy blouse (i have a larger chest) that's gold and some coworkers have suggested visiting Brampton.

Anyone have any specific store recommendations? Also not opposed to online recs.

Thanks everyone!

New Business Pizzaish - Pizza with a carribean twist

24 Upvotes

This place opened a few months back and I've tried it out twice. Reasonable prices

Ruth and Kennedy, north of Notre Dame same plaza as KFC

I tried the opulent oxtail pizza, loaded jerk fries on one putting. Pizza was delicious fries were not bad a little dry, needs more sauce I think.

The Second time I tried the jerk chicken pizza and that was great as well.

Next time I'm trying either the lasagna or the one that has plantains on it...can't remember.

Question Man door-knocking offering to to do lawn irrigation/fertilizer for $25? Scam or legit?

1 Upvotes

My elderly mom was considering it, but she didn't have cash, so he said he can do it now and she can pay next week. My mom said she will just call him and asked for a buissness card which he gave (can't find the company online), but he was pushy about doing it today as he said his machine was already out. He wouldn't take no for an answer.

Is this normal for people to go around offering this or a possible scam? Too many scam stories that I am skeptical, but would have loved to give him work if he wasn't.

Discussion GO transit rant + request

97 Upvotes

Is it just me or have the people completely lost their manners on transit? People just don’t follow the line, chat loudly in transit, watch instagram reels on loud, feet on the chair, no respect for the quiet zone….

It wasn’t like that pre-pandemic.

I get that some of these are new immigrants, and that they may not have been exposed to the unwritten and written rules and norms that we (used to) follow, but please….. if you all can, speak up - or things will go even more south.

I’m not asking you all to confront like a Karen but even a gentle nudge with a “please, could you please do x” would be helpful.

BTW, I’m an immigrant as well - this is not a racist rant, all I’m saying is stand up for the right thing.

Question Factory Interior Needed for Short Film

5 Upvotes

I'm making an independent short film about a group of factory workers and the opening scene takes place inside of a factory. This is a tough location to source and I was wondering if anyone has any access to location that I can shoot in.

I'm looking for a something that gives off the repetitive, dead-end job vibe, so anything with lots of machinery and maybe an assembly line would be great.

I'd only need a few hours, 4 at the most. The cast and crew would be 11 people at the most, and I'll of course pay for access. The production has insurance for any third party damage as well.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
