Laleh Saleki (left) and Olena Morozova (right) were standing in line outside the Students’ Administrative Council last Friday, like they do every month, to buy their discounted TTC Metropasses. “We’ve been waiting in line for at least an hour,” said Morozova, surveying the line behind them, which stretched nearly halfway around Hart House Circle at 4:15 Friday afternoon. Waits like these have become commonplace because SAC now regularly sells more than 8,000 passes a month, explained VP Operations Lisa Aldridge, but SAC only has one Interac terminal to process the payments. This bottleneck should be fixed soon: “We’re definitely ordering two more [Interac] machines,” Aldridge said, but the problem is not just processing payments. “We need administration to give us some more space on campus,” she said. “Demand is definitely going up, and we need a better space, especially when it gets colder in the winter months.” -Graham F.
