TTC chair takes taxi home after taping show on a streetcar
Councillor Giambrone expensed more than $3,000 on cabs last year
TTC chair Adam Giambrone may champion public transit but has nothing against taxis, records of city councillors' 2009 office expenses show.

Giambrone expensed more than $3,000 in cabs last year, including a trip home after riding a streetcar to tape an episode of his Ride The Rocket TV show on a streetcar.

About $2,400 came from his office budget, with the rest being billed to the TTC.

Giambrone, who has a city-provided Metropass, also expensed $256 in tokens and weekly and monthly Metropasses for his staff, including $173.50 in July for "staff travel."
clearly, this guy just has too many problems that he can't keep personal to be in such a public station...
Giambrone dropped out of the [Toronto] mayoral race last month amid a sex scandle in which he lied [...] about his relationship with a university student. He has since been defending his chairmanship of the TTC.
