With the weather making it feel like spring, I decided to start clearing out some of my clutter. In doing so, I discovered two old TTC tickets in an envelope (both sides shown above). They’re from the mid-1980s, I suspect, as Julian Porter<\/a> (whose name appears on the tickets) was TTC Chairman from 1979-1987. My grandmother was a frequent TTC rider which explains why I have a senior’s ticket (left) in my possession. Also note the cost: students got 5 tickets for $2 and seniors 5 for $1.75!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
