TTC operators are complaining about safety conditions, but thankfully they aren't being outright robbed like cab drivers. These drivers took a page out of the ridiculous 80s comedy D.C. Cab and dealt with a robber:
Torontoist: Don't Mess With Cabbies
CP24 reports that a group of cabbies got into a brawl with a suspicious fare in downtown Toronto. One cabby, who was under attack radioed for help and fellow cabbies responded. They nabbed the culprit and two cabbies were sent to hospital with injuries.
That cast list for D.C Cab is just bizarre: the main character is played by Adam Baldwin (Jane from Firefly), and the cabbies include Mr. T, Gary Busey, Marsha Warfield, Bill Maher and its directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman and Robin). A bunch of goof-balls and dreamers drive cabs and hope for the good life. It's like the Police Academy of ensemble-comedy cab driver movies, where catchphrases replace character development. Catch it if you're looking from some dumb cheese to waste away a rainy day or a hangover.
Even weirder fact: Due to the tremendous popularity of Mr. T among Filipinos, D.C. Cab was re-released in the Philippines in late 1988 under the title Mr. T and Company. Is Mr. T to the Philippines as David Hasselfoff is to Germany?
