The TTC union says it does not want fare collectors to demand money<\/a> at the farebox if they think it will put them in danger. Howard Moscoe, chair of the TTC, says collectors have no choice<\/a> but to demand fare be paid.<\/p>\n

It is kind of stupid for the TTC to have a public debate about this. Fare collectors already let people go through when they sense trouble, but on other occasions they put their foot down. When collectors are scared, they can call security which will show up on a bus or at a station.<\/p>\n
