However with the TTC, you can't use transfers for s**t. Except at transfer points. And if there isn't one, you have to pay again. Or if you get on a bus, then get off to do something, then want to get back on, you have to pay again.

It's bullshit. Because of that it costs me more to ride the bus to work, than it does to pay for gas.

The problem is that the TTC realizes that unless they put some limits in, you could potentially ride the system the entire day (It's still possible, but you have to grab your transfers whenever you can and ride routes in certin ways)

The TTC is too chicken to implement a zone system like Vancouver because of percieved backlash, but I think it is the way to go. Mississauga knows they can't do anything like that because it takes forever to get *anywhere* on their transit system <_<

As to your problem, I think a Metropass would be just what the doctor ordered when all is said & done.
