RE RE; TTC
Really does not matter a bit what the rider % is or will be . ------ TTC, just like Septa , and all the others,plans ahead ,regardless of 57%. or 65% level. ------- Bottom line: All these transit authorities are hooked up with a supplier and will (not change) unless a very important roadblock exists. ------ TTC may very well like our products in the pilot program ,but will NEVER change suppliers, ''UNLESS; that current supplier cannot provide the service. --Same with Septa/Gatekeeper : Septa will always give precedent to Gatekeeper ,''unless'' Gatekeeper cannot supply the request . ---------- Onto the more pressing issue ::, the inability of NFI to supply busses ordered in a timely fashion. YES: Septa has earmarked Gatekeeper for the 3.9 mil (u.s) CCT contract, however if the new bus arrivals are backed up 2 years ,the funds will not be released. Yes: the funds are there, ''2 years from now''. No announcements can be made .--No different going forward. I think Gatekeeper will be getting the IT contract and others going forward, however if the NFI busses are backed up 2 years , ''thats your time frame''. --

Having worked from home before the pandemic set in, I can tell you even in the most idyllic situations after 3 years or more the novelty begins to wear very thin. Work and home life become intertwined and it's not pleasant, okay if you're singe (I guess) or working in a smog filled city. Majority of humans need varied human interaction. Let's see how WFH plays out.

I found working from home to be hectic and less supportive of concentrated work. Missed the interaction of fellow workers and face to face collaboration.
