Andy Donato was a legendary cartoonist, who just died of a heart attack at age 89. His picture of Queen's Park is in the backdrop of @ThePaikinPod. Love this pic of Tony Chapman, Andy, Paul Godfrey, & yours truly from Sept. 2023. RIP Andy. @TheTorontoSun https://t.co/XoyZuU9Aoy

@spaikin I wondered the same thing. In many cities throughout Europe such as Munich, riders don't just need a ticket but they also need to validate it.

@spaikin I’m surprised it’s not a regular thing. Every train I’ve ridden in Europe has a conductor who passes back and forth regularly, asking everyone to show their ticket. 793 views · 22 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I’m on the subway almost every day but this is the first time I’ve ever seen “proof of payment” inspectors checking on passengers. Does this really work? If they find someone who didn’t pay, what do they do? Please feel free to share some stories here. https://t.co/gxc5PKMXqE
