PUBLIC NOTICE

This business is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED.




Am thinking low-priced cars can be a good deal for the Nigerian market. These cars will usually have any of the following characteristics:

Clean titles
High Mileage
Minor faults, etc.

For example, the 2007 Honda Accord below can land in Nigeria for 700k (purchase price and shipping. You arrange and pay for cost of clearing). Has a mileage of 383,000.

Generally, the clearing cost for shipping will depend on the age, model, type, etc of the vehicle and will range from N300k to about N600k.

If you are interested in any of the vehicles, Call/Whatsapp - +1437 221 5476

Please pay your fares when you ride in public transit. It is not acceptable behavior to dodge fares, and a lot of people do this. TTC has a worse record with fare dodgers as the drivers are not as strict with fares compared to others (the TTC lost over $64m to fare evasion and faulty equipment in 2018) so they are implementing more measures to tackle the issue. That $3 you are dodging can become $200 or more in fines when you are caught, and it can go into your record as a conviction for a dishonesty related office

Bus Etiquettes
Avoid sitting in the reserved seats for pregnant women or people with babies, the elderly or physically challenged people. It is better to stand when other seats are occupied than to sit in those reserved seats, as you show your consideration for those the seats are reserved for. It is not acceptable to sit there with the intention of standing up when the appropriate person gets in… it can lead to an embarrassing moment. The fact that many people flout this rule doesn’t make it right. I attended a TTC training and this was a major part of it.

TIPS
Take note of alphabets appearing after the bus number. 52A & 52B goes to different locations. The direction the bus is going is shown by the alphabets E (East), W (West), N (North) S (South). Express buses in Toronto usually have a 9 before the bus number (952) and if the express bus is not going to get to its normal destination, you will see 952S (S here means short-turn). An express bus does not stop at every bus stop. E.g 952 bus will skip some bus-stops, while 52 will stop at every stop on that route.

Getting on/off the Bus
Bus doors open automatically and are operated by the driver. If you have a Presto card, tap on the Presto device to pay, otherwise drop your coins/token into the box. To get the driver to stop the bus just before you get to your bus stop, you can either pull the yellow rope on the side of the bus or press the stop button on the pole in the middle of the bus. Nothing like Owa! Owa! please. To get out, note the sign on the exit door on how to open it as the method of opening the doors differ from bus to bus. Generally, you either hold the bars on the door for them to open, wave your hand before the door, or touch the door.

UBER
Upon landing at Toronto Pearson Int’l Airport and if you are not being picked up by family, this is the most efficient and cost effective method of getting from the airport to your accommodation. Note however that your Uber account must have a Paypal account or debit/credit card linked to it as Uber does not accept cash here. Uber can also be a cost effective way of getting around the GTA if you don’t have a bus pass. If you are not in a rush, you can select the Uber Express Pool option. That means you may share the ride with 2 other people (you are entitled to a maximum of 2 seats).The cost of the ride is cheaper, but Uber determines who gets dropped off first, so that may affect your arrival time a bit. It is not mandatory that someone will be added to the trip. I did a trip from Toronto to Brampton recently for $22 and no one was added… saved $20 as the cost of the usual UberX was $42.

I have never tried Lyft, so can’t share that experience.

York Region Transit (YRT)
This is the transport system for York and covers areas such as Vaughn, Markham, Richmondhill, Aurora, Newmarket, the outskirts of Toronto, etc. Payment method is similar to MiWay. You either pay cash or use your Presto card. YRT also operates the Bike ‘n’ Bus program, allowing customers to use bicycle racks on the front of their buses. Each rack holds up to two bikes and is designed for easy loading and unloading. The Bike 'n' Bus program lets you pay your regular fare but your bike rides for free. This program is also run by TTC and MiWay.

The monthly pass for YRT gives you unlimited transit on all YRT buses. This pass also extends to Brampton buses as long as you tapped your card on a YRT bus within the last 2 hours prior to the getting on a Brampton bus.

GO Transit
GO Transit operates a system of buses and trains, and are the fastest and most comfortable ways of travelling between cities in the GTA and Hamilton Area by public transit. They are also the most expensive. It is the only operator I know that operates double decker buses and trains in the GTA.

Fare payment can either be via tickets or Presto Card. If Presto Card, ensure you tap out when you exit the bus or train, otherwise you will be charged a fare equal to that of the person that stopped at the last stop. Fares are calculated based on distance. The excess payment can however be reversed if you return to the station and make a complaint.

Brampton Transit
This is the transport system for Brampton and extends into some areas of Mississauga, the airport and outskirts of Toronto. Express Bus 115 gets you from the airport into Brampton. Payment method is similar to MiWay. You either pay cash or use your Presto card. Brampton’s operates express buses such as 115, 501, 502, etc.

The monthly pass for Brampton gives you unlimited transit on all Brampton buses. This pass also extends to Mississauga buses as long as you tapped your card on a Brampton bus within the last 2 hours prior to the getting on a Mississauga bus.

Brampton Transit will accept transfers from the following Transit Agencies at any location, only if there is time remaining on the transfer:
• MiWay
• YRT/VIVA
• Oakville Transit
• Burlington Transit
• Hamilton Street Railway
• Durham Region Transit

Mississauga Transitway (MiWay)
This is the transport system for Mississauga and extends into some areas of Brampton and Toronto. Bus 7 and a couple of others gets you from the airport into Mississauga. Payment method is similar to TTC, except that MiWay does not accept tokens/tickets. You either pay cash or use your Presto card. MiWay operates express buses such as 103, 104, etc, Express buses do not stop at every bus stop.

The monthly pass for MiWay gives you unlimited transit on all MiWay buses. This pass also extends to Brampton buses as long as you tapped your card on a MiWay bus within the last 2 hours prior to getting on a Brampton bus. No fare is charged for children 5yrs and under.

Bus Operators

Toronto Transport Commission (TTC)
This is the transport system for Toronto (which includes North York and Scarborough) and includes buses, trains and trams. It also extends into some areas in Vaughn, Markham, Mississauga, etc. It’s the cheapest way to get from the airport to Toronto if you don’t have serious luggage and have a Presto Card (you can buy one at the airport) or coins. This is however not advisable for those landing for the first time, due to the luggage you will be carrying and the fact that you don’t really know your way around and which bus you need (Bus 52 leaves the airport for various areas of Toronto).

Fare payment on the TTC can either be via cash, tokens or passes. Cash payment are done via coins dropped into the coin box beside the driver. Driver will not handle or count the coins; except you drop coins that are noticeably too few… then the driver can call your attention to it. Tokens can be purchased at convenience stores so that instead of carrying several coins around, you can pay your fare with a single token.

The TTC Monthly Pass gives unlimited use of all TTC transit modes (buses, trains, trams) to the holder from the 1st to the last day of every month. It cannot be carried from one month into the other, even if you got it at the middle of the month. If you live and work in Toronto, the bus pass is your best bet, compared to the pay-as-you-go.

Paying for Public Transport
Cash
You can pay your fare in coins only. Drivers do not give change, so no notes. This is however not advisable as it usually costs a bit more to pay in cash compared with paying via your Presto Card. For example, TTC charges a fare of $3.10 when you pay with Presto Card and $3.25 when you pay cash. Ensure you collect a transfer slip each time you pay cash or by token as this enables you to change to another bus going in same direction within a 2-hour period starting from the time of payment. The expiry time of the ticket is usually printed on the transfer slip.

PrestoCard
This is a card-based payment management system for bus operators within the GTA, as well as some other cities in Canada. The Presto card costs $6 and is available at most Shoppers Drug Mart and select bus/train stations, including the airport. You can then load the card with your preferred amount or load a bus pass. There are two options to pay your fare with your Presto Card; pay-as-you-go or bus pass. For the pay-as-you-go, the bus fare is deducted from the card when you tap as you enter the bus. A 2-hour time period is automatically set on your card and you will be able to transfer to another bus (usually by same bus operator) within that time frame for free. For the bus pass, you pay a fixed amount weekly/monthly and you can use that bus operator without paying any additional fee throughout that week/month. Bus Passes will be discussed later when we discuss the different bus operators. Ensure you register your Prestocard online as soon as you get it in order to protect your balance when the card is lost or stolen.

The GTA Weekly Pass ($64.95) gives you unlimited access to all TTC, Mississauga, Brampton and York Region Transit routes, including service for persons with disabilities. This is a good option for those that live in Mississauga/Brampton and work in Toronto or vice versa.

A weekly/monthly pass is your best bet if you live and work in the same city. For those that live in Brampton and work in Mississauga or vice versa, using the pass of either city can also be a good choice, as they allow a limited use of the pass of one operator on the other operator.

Finally got around to this

UNDERSTANDING PUBLIC TRANSPORT WITHIN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA (GTA)

Finding your Way Around
Google Map (or other map tool such as Triplinx) is your best friend if you want to make the best of public transit within the GTA. You get to see exactly which bus you need to take, what other options are available to you, when each bus will arrive, how long to your destination, how much your trip will cost, etc. With your google map in hand as a good user, you can never get lost. Be sure to have your phone well charged though or backup power (powerbank) in place, particularly in winter as cold is a fast battery drainer.

Alternatively, there are paper maps at most bus stops showing which buses go where, but those are a bit more complicated to use. Bus drivers are also a good option as they are usually very friendly and willing to assist you with determining the right bus to your destination.
