    Yeah... won't settle for anything less than Cinnabon. I tried Cinnaholic one time, it was okay but as it's completely vegan that means it doesn't have cream cheese frosting.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    I was just trying to find the express buses from Kennedy GO station, man in true TTC fashion not a single sign after going into the tunnel, I kinda guessed my way to where that temporary bus terminal was, which is where I heard that bus will be. Also, is this a fare paid terminal outside? No...

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    So true... having Eglinton as a LRT looks like a colossal mistake now, and we're still broke.

    I think it was, mmmuffins so draw out 3 of the 'm' sounds? Man as a kid I loved the cornmeal muffins there, it's sad they're all gone now.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    There's a farm across the street, and 10th line has no sidewalks. No one will walk to this station, but it's still crazy to put up such a sign.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I guess more so that it basically deactivates the physical card. But I think it'd be better if it was digital-only for you to register for a digital Presto card to begin with, instead of expecting someone to buy a physical Presto card, add it to your wallet, and your physical card is dead. If...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Wow, this is downright a terrible implementation, lately I've just been paying with Google Pay with a credit card on the account for the last couple of months now, beats doing this plus you don't have to pay $6 for the Presto card to begin with.

    Also if they ever implement level boarding, that would definitely be a help.

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    I'd love to see them switch to EMUs, but wouldn't electric locomotives with shorter trains be an improvement in itself given that acceleration should be better, which is one of the biggest problems with the 12 car mammoths they usually run. On the other hand, if the goal is to run shorter...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Last night I was unable to pay for the GO bus at Union Station using Google Pay nor an actual credit card, this isn't the first time that happened, but I was let on for free. Just looks bad when the majority of people are using regular cards that work fine. I also got my train fare inspection...

    Shabby Public Realm

    This thing is disgusting now, plus lots of weird people hiding inside, I'd rather take the street now unless it was heavy rain.

    It's always cool to see pics like these, and $1 parking, what a time to be alive!

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I just tried this today on my Android phone to get into the subway at Union Station, I think it requires unlocking, I had tapped a few times and it wouldn't register my phone's NFC credit card card, but after I unlocked it I was able to tap successfully and go in. The other times I have paid for...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I don't think there was really any significant construction in the last few months on the Stouffville line despite that being the reasoning they used for the cutbacks. It's about time because the GO buses are always really packed and it's a pain in the ass to board them from Union as well...

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    Given the subway lines are numbered (ok granted we will only have 3 lines soon after SRT closes), perhaps they should use exit letters, that might be allow for more clarity. I believe in Hong Kong they use exit letters to designate a particular set of exits, and then like A1, A2, etc as branches.
