I know I'm going against my previous bailing on this patently silly thread, but in addition to floating incredibly loony and easily disproven concepts, this poster needs to keep track of what they've claimed:
Thanks, for your thoughts.
I now have a big meeting coming up with ultimate "top" management, I will not say exactly with who. But in my opinion it could not be bigger!!

These are all in chronological order starting from November through to February. She needs a meeting. She's had 3 (or is it 4 or 5) meetings with top dogs at the TTC. She's got an open invitation for a conference room. She's discussed minor details like which fare price to use in calculations. TTC referred her to outside consultant who sent her back to the TTC. She just needs a meeting (hopefully soon). She's meeting with big whigs from outside Toronto. She needs to meet with transit people. She's meeting with the top management at TTC.
Contradictions? Maybe it's because none of these meetings ever happened and no one in any position to do so has said anything favourable about the whole scheme because it is completely whacky. There is bad math, poor understanding of transit operation, poor understanding of public construction, poor understanding of transit demand, inability to grasp finance, incredibly amateur documentation, repeated insistence on avoiding pointed questions and repeating the same tired, overly dramatic lines and a fundamental deficiency in effectively communicating straightforward ideas and concepts.
Might be worth noting that in all the months since these meetings (or potential meetings) started happening, not one word has been said by the TTC about considering some radical, earth-shattering operational/design change, nor has anyone leaked such information to any of the hordes of transit geeks who would be all over it. No corroboration or supporting evidence anywhere.
Harsh? Probably, but the evidence for all is documented in posts from this particular user.
Just a question of how much other users are willing to continue to humour the issue and engage in discussion of individual flawed details rather than looking at the bigger picture and realizing the whole thing is pretty much out to lunch.
