Late-night newscasts led with word of a shooting in a TTC subway car.

The "victim" and a friend had reportedly been yipping with two guys for some time. She reportedly pulled a knife; unfortunately, he had a gun (there is an alternate version; darned if I know what the truth is as I write this).

However, here's the key question I will be mulling as I lay me down to sleep: Where are the TTC police?

I never see them. And given the other crime issues reported on the subway, I'm surprised that I never see any transit cops just being seen walking the tube.

And I mean even once a year (I ride the tube at least six days per week).

Essentially, it would seem you're on your own down there -- which is fine as long as your fellow subway riders aren't packing. 

Addendum

I was on an eastbound Queen streetcar recently when one mentally ill fellow was acting out so much that everyone abandoned the back end of the car. The operator was oblivious.
