We can all just drink wine until it comes . <| sep |> Police is one of those jobs where you work a lot more than the hours you are paid for . Simply not true . The police union would throw a fit if their members weren ' t being paid for their time . And rightfully so . If free rides is one of the perks of the job that is mutually beneficial to both parties , than so be it . If police weren ' t paid well and maybe they needed the subsidy to get to work I ' d be more sympathetic . But police in Toronto are paid incredibly well , and they have a good pension . I don ' t see why they shouldn ' t be able to pay a $ 3 transit fare like the rest of us . Arguing that someone else should pay for something they get for free is frankly just jealousy . It ' s a matter of things being fair , not jealousy . Police do their job just like anyone else does . Why should they be entitled to special treatment ?
