Heard two middle aged minority women at Concert Hall Stn. One says that she is paying her fare, the other tells her that it is FREE today and that she is not paying.
Rode the 44 Grey London to KP. I'll write about that in the Construction thread.

One woman on one of the buses I could hear coins being dropped into the farebox. FREE ride day lady!
Rode the 75 to Univ. of Manitoba.
Rode the 36 Sherbrook SuperExpress back home. Had enough bus riding today.
