In any person’s life, there comes a time (or several) where they must swallow their pride, admit they screwed up, and apologize. For me, this is one of those times. As I’m sure many of you are aware, in my zeal to report information about today’s TTC commission meeting, I “jumped the gun” and mis-reported information. Twice.
It was extremely confusing for many people and served to only muddle an already hectic situation. For that, I apologize. In trying to keep up with events happening during the meeting while at work, I relied too heavily on unconfirmed reports from people Twittering in council chambers. It won’t happen again. In the future, “real-time” reporting will come only from myself — from the scene, or from a trusted member of the TTCupdates community.
TTCupdates has become a trusted source of information for many. I hope, as the days go on, it can continue to be so.
@jkozuch and @tomcochrane deserve huge respect for setting me straight and providing accurate info. I am in their debt.

Why are such updates even going to TTCU? Can we just block people sending these OT posts. We can just read about whatever the outcome is in Metro in the morning.
It happens… we all make mistakes. It takes a real man to own up to them, so good on you for having the chutzpah to do so.
With respect to providing accurate info, it was my pleasure. I had to verify a few times to ensure that the .25c fare hike was approved as it happened so quickly. Still… first to break the news. Twitter FTW!
@N: I appreciate your point of view, but I provide the updates for those who want to know the updates as they happen. If that doesn’t include you, I’m sorry TTCupdates doesn’t fit your needs.
@Justin Kozuch: Thanks for your support, buddy. And congratulations on being the first to break the news on Twitter! Your help was greatly appreciated.
