Exact Fare Only

Edited by: Grant Buday

We’ve all had good, bad, and sometimes ugly experiences on public transit. Exact Fare Only is an anthology of real life stories about heading out, heading back, and everything that happened in between, whether the trip was across the country or just across town.

Praise for Exact Fare Only:

“This book should be sold in bus terminals and train stations from coast to coast to coast and required reading for commuters everywhere. Laced with humor and subtle social commentary, Exact Fare Only is a timely portraitof that cramped, public space, otherwise known as the bus, the train or the subway.” (Matthew Firth, Front & Centre)

“… the reader … glimpses rare truths and moments of clarity that we can all see if we look around in our travels. Reading Exact Fare, like in any good journey, I didn’t want to step off. Instead, I wanted to see what happened along that road.” (The Antigonish Review)

” … could serve as evidence in a sociologist’s study of human behaviour … ” (Quill & Quire)
