If you check the Miway schedule, you'll see that Miway local routes 1, 11, 20, 35, and 70 all stop along this stretch of Dundas inside Toronto city limits. Miway express routes 101, 108, 109, and 126 also stop at the corner of the East Mall and Dundas.The problem with living along this stretch is that while there will virtually always be a bus on the road in front of where you live, you won't be allowed to board 95% of them if you are trying to go eastbound to Kipling Station because they are mostly MiWay buses, and MiWay/TTC does not allow you to board and get off within Toronto.
The stops in the city limits (going east to Kipling) only allow passengers to get off (or get on when going west) . You are not allowed to board and then get off a MiWay bus, both within Toronto city limits, the only exception being for MiWay Route 26 which does not come in along Dundas but rather Burnhamthorpe. On top of that, of the TTC buses that serve the stretch, a good percentage of them are express and only stop at a few spots, although they are walkable from this location.If you check the Miway schedule, you'll see that Miway local routes 1, 11, 20, 35, and 70 all stop along this stretch of Dundas inside Toronto city limits.

My apologies, I mistakenly thought they had fixed that issue.The stops in the city limits (going east to Kipling) only allow passengers to get off (or get on when going west) .

The point I was trying to make is that while it may look like a very transit friendly location based on how many busses are always along Dundas, you can only get on a a few of the routes.
