TRANSCRIPT AND RESEARCH NOTES
Theme Song
Narrator: Good morning good afternoon and good evening and welcome to another episode of you have missed the bus featuring our two heroes Tim and Tino. We join our heroes on the decade of the 1970's as they continue to explore issues in transportation. Let's have a look.
Tim: So have you heard about the new highway that they're trying to put in?
Tino: No. Which highway is that?
Tim: So the Spadina express way and umm it's going to run from north of Highway 401 into downtown Toronto. But like I don't know man it's not looking too
good.
Tino: Oh the Spadina express way sorry I have been in the New Ross building studying for the past month getting ready for finals getting all my essays done.
You know speaking about new roster building don't you think that it kind of resembles something that you would find in the novel 1984 by George Orwell perhaps like
the Ministry of Truth. It's a brutal looking building.
Tim: It's.. it's a pretty bleak place here.
Tino: Yeah what am I? What is this? York University of dystopian universe? Anyway Yeah the Spadina express way two weeks ago actually I was
just at a meeting held by the chairman of the TTC named Samuel Cass at Burton auditorium and everybody was saying down with the express way, it's a waste of tax dollars. It's going to hurt Urban Development. And I was in the back when trying to make my voice heard now I'm going to
make it it's going to be great it's going to make everybody get the school really faster it's going to be nice more highways yea !. And my voice wasn't heard over the general consensus. I got to tell you.
Tim: I mean I can sort of see both sides of the argument because you want to get to school faster but at the same time, if we have roads
everywhere, there is going to be no room for new buildings and I mean that's obviously not going to help.
Tino: Ahhh we got too many buildings anyway. Who cares.
Tim: I mean I don't know even even with the buildings things it's still a huge waste of tax money. I mean like they started with a budget of 76 million
dollars. They're down to 10 and now they're saying they're going to need another 80.
Tino: Mommia That's a lot of money! But I got to say the only thing I would be worried about when it comes to this express ways the fact that it goes right over
Cedar Vail and Norheim the ravines and Spadina road like if I like if I crushed a car and went off the off the side of the road I would end up in the ravine.
Tim: I mean, I feel like you'd end up in the ravine regardless if you are on a highway or not. I don't know about you, but radical Randy seems to be getting further down the rabbit hole. If you know what I mean.
Tino: No no no no no. I am I have cut off my ties with that guy. Radical Randy tried to introduce me to this new kind of drug it's like a white sugar. Yeah. I'm
done. I don't want no part of that.
Radical Randy: Come man just try it, it's dope.
Tino: I want no part of Radical Randy get out of here man!

Narrator: Hmm Yes. Without a doubt. Unfortunately both our heroes are going to receive a very stern lesson when it comes to parking. Just to show some statistics when it comes to parking permits at York university between 1971 in 1972 for annual unreserved parking spots. There where about 5,950 parking permits sold. For reserved parking spots, 420 and for Seasonal, 5,415. For a grand total, of 11785 parking permits sold. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that there were only 5000 spaces to accommodate for this great influx of cars.
Tim: (sigh) Geez where are we going to park? .There's no room anywhere.
Tino: Look over there there's a full parking lot empty.
Tim: Oh wow. OK. OK let's go try parking over there. Hey why do you think this parking lot is empty?
Tino: because everybody's idiots for us ever thought of that?
Tim: uhhh No I just noticed the sign over there. This is reserved parking
Tino: ohh For profs and teachers?
Tim: I think so.
Tino: Man can't even park over there geez did you know that they issued 11000 car permits this year, but there's only 5000 parking spots?
Tim: I guess that makes sense because like they issued that many because not everyone's going to be on campus at the same time right? But still to issue over double the actual amount of available parking spots it seems a little fishy. And I mean on top of that, they added the $10 fee so last year was 15. Now
it's 25 a year like they're just charging a lot for parking.
Tino: $25 a year for unreserved parking? Tim I want to tell you how to spend your money but you probably should have got the
75 bucks a year for the reserve parking. So we could get a spot.
Tim: I mean if you really want to, you can charge for just parking, and I'll continue to pay for the gas and driving.
Tino: uhh No can't do Tim. I've been working at Eatons for a month now I've only made $35. ohhh look over there, look over there's. There are spots on the side people just pulling up in parking lots just do that. Oh never mind that's just a tow truck..
Random unfortunate student: Oh no not cool they're towing our car away!
The sister of that random unfortunate student: Mom's going to kill us.
Tino: Just keep driving Tim. Just keep driving. Don't even look , don't even look, don't even, don't even look.

Narrator: Unfortunately, it does not end there. Our heroes will also receive another important lesson and that is, that fees never stop increasing.
In fact, for a parking permit, an annual unreserved space, costs about $25, a hike of $10 from last year's fees. This can be explained because of
the fact that the government stop issuing these grants to build these lots as the results with no grants, the university had to jack up the prices.
There was also another major problem. There were 2 parking lots located around York University. There were the internal parking lots and the
perimeter parking lots. The internal parking lots, were meant more for faculty and the perimeter were meant more for students. However, many people wanted to park in the internal parking lots because they would avoid the long walk and be closer to go there classes. On November 1971 for
example, security guards did a count in the internal parking areas and came up with the number of 900 cars. The only problem was, these parking lots are only meant to accommodate 450. At one point, York paid 400 dollars in one month for the services of tow trucks because this problem was so great. Tow trucks charge $10 an hour. And in that time they could tow about four cars and some pointed toward 160. But the
problem was that the service is only available half the time. So there were still huge volumes of cars in the parking lots at one point, 320 cars
needed to be towed in one month. So as we can see here, the issue of parking in the university was a very big issue. And Tim and Tino are
obviously experiencing that problem.
Tim: So did you hear about the new I guess actually their old uhhh cars being added in by the TTC this summer.
Tino: What what are you talking about?
Tim: So the TTC is funding $33000 to restore some rail cars from the 20's and they're going to put them in service this summer sort of a
touristy thing. But I mean, $33000.
Tino: Oh yeah. That's so cute and charming $33000 so that I could take a ride on what Wright brothers plane here. I am here and I am drowning in debt Tim. Did you
read this? Fees are going up this year twelve hundred dollars. Sky rocketing prices! We should have been in debt like, 3200 dollars if we graduated In four years. But here we are like almost 10 years later.
Tim: What are you even majoring in now?
Tino: I am I just recently changed my major to film.
Tim: Ah, I'm a philosophy major now. So, you know, I would philosophize to you but, it's not much better for those living on res.
Tino: oh really? What are they paying
Tim: Their fees have gone up, dramatically. They're even more in debt than we are.
Tino: Wow debt all around. Did you hear that, the Excalibur saying that we should just like not pay the fees? If we all don't pay, they might just
change them like like some sort of strike.
Tim: I don't think that would work for you. I mean, if you ever want to get your degree from these people, you're probably going to have to pay uhh.... your tuition.
Tino: Yeah that's a fair argument. But you know what? I'm a filmmaker I have you ever seen the movie Putney Swope directed by Robert Downey Sr?
Tim: Pudney what ?
Tino: Putney Swope
Tim: No.
Tino: Well it is a movie a documentary where they expose all the corruption on Madison Avenue. I should make that same movie about York, about
tuitions, about the government, and about everybody in charge. I think that it would be a huge hit and at the end of it they'll call me Robert Downey
Jr.
Tim: A wise man once said those who were humbly work happily. So in layman's terms, you're going to end up work in an industrial job somewhere.
Tino: Well thanks a lot Tim for laying down the philosophy mumbo jumbo on me. You know what? What do you what what do I look like? I'm going to work with copper? I'm going to work with iron? what it will look like some sort of Iron Man? What do you think about that Tim?
Tim: I think that we're in debt no matter what we do.
Tino: Ughhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Narrator: There's no question, things were getting expensive, and Tim and Tino had every right to complain and I'm not just saying that because
I'm siding with them. Let's take for example residence. There are five main colleges at the time Founders, Vanier, Winters, McLaughlin and Stong. None of this new college business. Residences housed about 35 to 40 people. Each house had its own common room, kitchenettes the works. Each
room was fully furnished with desks, beds, closets, and dressers and chairs and everybody shared a common washroom facility. Now onto the fun part, the prices. . Prices ranged from about $975 to $1180 a year. Now if one wanted to have a single room, they would have to pay about $75 more which isn't too bad to us, but at that time, was a very very expensive.
Tim: Gosh Union Station is dying.
Tino: Union Station is dying? Union Station is a building. How can a building be dying? Didn't they teach you philosophy, I think therefore I am ? Does Union Station think?
Tim: No but like.......rude! Anyways, the station is just...garbage like they haven't taken care of it very well and it's in bad need a renovation. I don't
know what's going to happen there but like. Have you ever been to Union Station recently? Like, it looks awful.
Tino: Yeah it's kind of crumble to the ground. I guess you're right about that. I guess it is dying. Never thought of it like that. OK you know what? There is a light in the darkness on the whole debt issue. I read that the government is saying that there are going to be helping out the students 50/ 50, where we pay 50% of education and the government covers 50%. I think it could be a little better. But what going to do? I'll take it I guess.
Tim: Could be worse, could you imagine if the government was like?, "yea students should be like 70 percent of their debt."
Tino: and us 30?Could you imagine that, 70/ 30?
Tim and Tino: ha ha ha ha ha ha ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Narrator: Oh my goodness man. Fees fees fees. Is this all these guys ever talk about? Like, Oh are we on? (Fumbles clumsily) We....Welcome back, we last left off our hero oh forget it. I'll just get straight to the facts. Anyways, talking more about residence there's no question that fees were applicable
to all students. Either your commuters, or people staying on residence. Students were asked some of the advantages and disadvantages they felt they had staying at
res. For example, 40.5% felt that academic proximity was a major asset. No doubt that living close to your classes definitely cut down on commuting time. 15.6% believed that making friends and getting dates was one of the prime motivators to staying on residence. While 12% of students, said that living on res helped them to get more involved with the York University environment. Definitely a huge asset. However, the disadvantages. 30.5% believed that the costs were just too much and could not afford to stay on res. 28% percent felt they felt isolated from the city and 10% felt that
there was very little privacy. Of course there were the advantages that little cleaning, cooking. And still, other students complained that the rooms were just all too
the same. Boring, same furniture, same chair there was no variety. And some people actually, 55.5%, believed that the food was just too bland. There are also little
rules though that some people liked. There is a lot of freedom within the residence, of course a couple rules here or there. For example, no pets, no painting rooms,and no using nails to hang your nice pretty pictures. So the students did have some freedom these are really the only three stipulations to staying in residence.
Tino: Hey Tim, you know how those high school kids have those students fares for the TTC?
Tim: Yeah they get it way cheaper don't they?
Tino: Yeah they do. And they recently just like added over 300,000 student pass cards and even extended the rate of seven tickets for one dollar and they're
thinking of proposing the same thing for us university and college students.
Tim: That seems really good. You never bring stuff up unless it's bad news so what's the catch?
Tino: Because it is bad news because they're deferring it longer so we're not getting this. What's the big deal here? They're already issuing 300,000 student pass
cards to all those high school kids at McKenzie Westview, CCW Jeffreys, Boris hills. What's an extra 70,000? That's how much kids are at York. I'm starving over here I could really use this. "Someone should make them an offer he can't refuse." (Godfather impression) If you know what I mean.
Tim: What do you... What do mean make him an . I don't ...I don't get it.
Tino: Haven't you seen the Godfather Tim?
Tim: I haven't been to the movies in like a year.
Tino: ohhh you got to see this movie; they just screened it at the Federation of Filmmakers. It's a club I just joined at York and I got to tell you it was a great movie so
when he says, "make him an offer he can't refuse," Don Vito Corleone is referring to you know it's either he's going to make you an offer like the TTC or like he's going to kill you make you sleep with the fishes.
Tim: Why would you sleep with. What does that have to do with killing?
Tino: Well if you sleep with the fishes it means you know like you throw your body in the lake. Just watched the movie Tim.
Tim: You know what? I will. Right after I have my amazing debate tonight with the Philosophy club I joined at York.
Tino: Philosophy Club? Ha more like the yawn club. (Yawns) cause it's so boring you fall asleep.
Tim: Yeah right. I mean I'm sure you learn a lot in popcorn 1010 or whatever your film is called.
Tino: Hey man....(pouts childishly)

Narrator: Indeed, student groups a huge huge part of student life at this point. There are actually seven major categories groups affiliated with majors, ethnic
groups, political groups, religious groups, fine arts, miscellaneous and physical education. In the majors, we had groups such as the Philosophy Club,, the French club, and of course the History Association my personal favourite. For ethnic groups, we had such groups such as, Indian Association,
Chinese students society, Black People's movement. For political groups, we had things such as Young Socialist's, York Student Clinic, Pollution Probe,
Canadian Liberation movement and something called the waffle which still baffles me to this day. For the religious side, we have things like halal,
Jewish Student Federation, Ontological Society. For physical education, we have your typical sports such as the Rugger club, Badminton, Squash Club
and the Waterpolo club, and for fine arts we have clubs such as ceramics club, The company, Photographic Society, Vanier camera club, York Maskers.
For miscellaneous, we had clubs such as bridge club, chess club, York homophile association, and of course York, Information Center. Many variety of clubs that Tim and Tino can certainly take advantage of.
Tim: Man the TTC has to step their game up like they're never buses on campus when we need them to be.
Tino: Yeah you're right. And sometimes they come and they're already full and there's just a lot of students coming to York. The campus is getting more populated more people are moving here and I feel like sometimes I'm waiting up to 45 minutes for a bus like I want to get home and watch all the families is that too much to ask?.
Tim: I agree like it's it's ridiculous. Like sometimes you have to wait up to 45 minutes for a bus like it's absurd at this rate. I'm going to have to go to the Grand Prix
later this year. Still one of them cars makes sure I'm always getting home on time.
Tino: The Grand Prix? don't mean the Grand Prix ?
Tim: No, no I don't.

Unknown, “Labatts Grand Prix of Canada”, Excalibur (Toronto, ON), Sept. 13, 1973.
Narrator: Quite right Tino, I'm also a great believer in the Grand Prix. There's no doubt that waiting times for public transportation was a huge issue. For example, rush hours to Eglinton and Bathurst, around 45 minutes. Rush hours to Spadina and Eglington on private transport, about 30 minutes and non rush hour to Spadina and Eglinton 20 minutes. The wait times were quite obscene.
Tino: Tim have you been to the zoo yet?
Tim: We have a zoo?
Tino: Yeah it just opened .It's full of all kinds of animals giraffes, zebras, orangutans and pretty soon, we could go to the zoo right from York cause
they're going to be building a line of streetcars from Finch station that'll go right to the zoo and that'll be awesome. We can just go to Finch station. Finch Station is like a stone throw away.
Tim: That seems pretty cool but like, what are they going to do to compensate for all the congestion that we're going to have with like bullet trains running around everywhere?
Tino: Oh, yeah. That idea kind of trumps mine. But think about this. "It's going to be huge. It is going to be great. You're gonna love, you're gonna go to the zoo.: (Donald Trump impersonation)
Tim: What..... was that?
Tino: I don't know. I don't know.

Narrator: hmm..That's Strange, that kind of sounded like someone I know. Oh well, I'm not going to run up the wall for that.
Tino: Oh boy oh boy am I happy today and that's not just because I watch Happy Days last night.
Tim: Why.... are you so happy?
Tino: Because the subway extension man they're building an extension from St. George which is at like UFT to Wilson.
Tim: hey you know that's actually pretty cool. I mean who knows maybe one day it will extend further than that.
Tino: Yeah right? To York.. That's the logical next step because they're planning one for Downsview. And after that, York and hey maybe even more north than
that.
Tim: You mean Richmond Hill Vaughan like my area?
Tino: Richmond Hill, that that's where you just moved right?
Tim: Yeah.
Random Stranger: Hey, I heard you guys talking about Richmond Hill. I just moved there and it's a little town so I don't think there will be a need for a new subway line there.
Tino: oh, okay, yea thanks. Is that Richmond Hill is that like is that a part of Vaughan or what?
Tim: uhhh yea, I mean yeah. Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Woodbridge. They're all part of like the Greater Toronto Area I think they're calling it York.
Tino: Oh what? Is everything in their mother called York? Is that...oh you mentioned Woodbridge? That's like going up the country. That's where my grandfather goes to buy tomatoes from the farms.
Tim: Man that sounds pretty isolated. Speaking of, dude, we haven't spoken anyone like six years.
Tino: Wow. You're actually kind of right about that. But have you met my new friend Disco Randy?
Tim: Disco Randy? Is that like Radical Randy?
Tino: No no no no. Totally different guy. Radical already graduated a couple of years ago. He's a pharmacist now.
Tim: Pharmacy. Mmm I wonder why?
Tino: Man Disco Randy. He's a. He's a really groovy dude. Oh here he is right now. Disco Randy this is Tim.
Disco Randy: Hey, Tim. pleasure to meet you, you're looking groovy.
Tim: Hey, what's up?
Tino: Doesn't he remind of John Travolta in Saturday night fever?
Tim: Yeah a little bit actually.
Disco Randy: Boys where the street is, where going to get a bus from Wilson to York. It's going to be grooooovy.
Tim: Yeah that sounds pretty cool.
Tino: Man we're going to be packed like sardines in that bus though like one bus? They should give us five.
Disco Randy: Hey hey, don't be so down. Listen, sardines or not we're going to be packed just like those clubs in downtown and there ain't nothing fishy about that.
Tim: yea I mean it's definitely like a good idea especially considering how bad it is on res. Like there's nothing to do at all. Hopefully next they can add like some bus
routes from Jane and Steeles getting even more connected.
Tino: Yeah like run the buses through campus right? Yeah and I feel that now you're kind of right about that. Isolation is an important reason for the lack of
involvement in evening activities around here. We're so isolated from Toronto and from UFT. But I think that your philosophy club would be isolated either way because it's so damn boring.
Tim: Oh right because buttered popcorn the movie is such an excellent film.
Disco Randy: Man all this negativity you guys are crushing my vibes.
Tino: You see that? You're bumming out Disco Randy, how's he gonna dance?

Tino: Man, you know what's really been bumming me out lately?
Tim: I have no idea. But I can only guess it's something transportation related.
Tino: You got it. I was waiting for a bus yesterday and it was too full and they couldn't let me on. And they just passed me by and it was in the scenario that I met my friend Cheryl and you got to hear what happened to her it was pretty crazy. Hey Cheryl how's it going?
Cheryl: Not good, do you guys think you have it bad? I sold my car because the TTC said it would up it's service. But, instead, I see 6 full buses pass me by with C.W. Jeffrey's kids in it.
Tim: THOSE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS!! (Incoherent babble) WAITING FOR THE 106, THAT HIGH SCHOOL KIDS PASS ME BY! ABLE TO GET THERE STUDENT PASSES AND STUDENT FARES! I'M OUTTA HERE!!! GRRRAA!!!!!!
Tim: Tino where are you going? (Growling in the background) You're gonna miss the bus! Or you could just write a strongly worded letter.
Cheryl: That's what I did. And when they get there when they get they're act together, let me know, because I will be finding a different mode of transportation for now.

Narrator: Indeed temporaries were justified. In fact, York wanted to know exactly from which schools their students were coming from. It was found out that the top three high schools were W. L McKenzie Westview 425 students were coming from that high school which mean up about 8.3 percent of the population. C.W. Jeffrey's came in second, with 389 students which made about 7.6% of the population. And in third place, Forest Hills, which brought in 372 students, 7.3 percent of the population. So indeed those numbers around the rise,
and of course many of our heroes just simply could not take a chill pill.
Cheryl: Hey you're Tim, Tino's friend right?
Tim: Yea, you're Cheryl I met you that one time.
Cheryl: You'll never guess what happened again.
Tim: What happened?
Cheryl: Still having problems with the TTC. I actually got onto the 5th bus, right on the bottom step, but as the door opened , I got stuck in it, and my new slacks got ruined.
Tim: oh, that sounds awful.
Cheryl: I know it's awful. But uhh.. hey, where's Tino?
Tim: I don't know, he's off with Disco Randy.
Cheryl: Disco Randy? What's that?
Tim: I don't know. He just keeps finding these Randys and giving them some title in front of the word Randy like....I don't know who these people are anymore.

Disco Randy: Heeeyy, well it was fun boguing with you last night catchya on the skinny boy.
Tino: See you later Disco Randy, catch you on the flippity flip it was fun dancing with you.
Disco Randy: Far out!
Tim: Tino, what happened to you?
Tino: I have been hanging out with Disco Randy and he's really showed me how to find my zen how to meditate and how to be calm. Cause, I remember like a year ago, I was getting way to mad with Cheryl. And Cheryl ended up stop talking because I was so angry.
Tim: I mean, you definitely needed to calm down but like, maybe this will add to your zen hopefully. So the TTC realizes it's in a bit of hot water so what they're doing is, they're going to lower the admission of monthly passes gonna lower fares on off peak hours. There is a committee reviewing the entire system like this could be the biggest change for the TTC since the subway back in 54. And they're even going to add more buses. So I mean hopefully some of that gets spread York's way.
Tino: Wow, that really does make me calm. hopefully they keep this promise.
Tim: I mean you know what they say, "May the Force be with you."
Tino: And also with you. Wait what?
Tim: Have you not seen Star Wars?
Tino: Oh Star Wars. Oh I did see you in popcorn 1010.
Tim: I knew it
Tino: And I hope to keep these promises because you know what? If they don't, I'M GONNA GET SO MAD!!
Tim: Seems like you've got a little bit of work there.
Tino: Disco Randy?
