Interesting - that would include the Van Hool TD925s that MegaBus uses then. That works though, I believe both are 3.9m tall.

June 11th pics. Including a gaggle of detail shots.

A closer look at the materiality upstairs. Plus the signed beam!

The diaphanous glass appearing on this eastern fin.

An impressive amount of frontage work done here since my last walk-by...

Ample space between Lake Shore Blvd and this tower...

Light testing under the canopy...

The Diamond(y) Crown. Taken over the span of almost two hours this morning. Seems longer than your normal 'pane' installation, presumably because they need to get this right. Wind-loading would be formidable. It's also a little higher than the framing. Plenty of onlookers too!

Workers also on the hoist farther right adding mech cladding.

I really appreciate seeing the west looking view of the building as I'm only exposed to the eastwardly view. I am curious about the process of glass installation as it followed a fairly predictable pattern, then stopped, then was resumed but in this final case started in a non-standard pattern (building one level higher when the lower floor is not complete; and not building yet higher still without completing either stories below first). To say nothing of the mystery of the crane-hoisted basket work.

EDIT: As I re examined the latest photos, I saw one of the floors almost complete for glass; and the basket work may have had to do with pre-work for securing the panes to the beams?

It has not been stated categorically yet that all or some of the other buses from the Bay and Edward terminal will be moving down, but there probably will be.

I certainly hope more (or all) of the other bus routes get consolidated into this new building - the Bay terminal is dreadful.

I certainly hope more (or all) of the other bus routes get consolidated into this new building - the Bay terminal is dreadful.

The City (or actually TTC) who own the site certainly want to get it emptied out and sold. The real question is how much of the 'heritage' parts of the building need to be preserved.

Not only that, it's also a vomit comet getting to and fro to that station by said buses for us users who suffer from motion sickness. /bleh

As dreadful as it is, it's actually much better than most regional bus terminals in North America. I know, that's a pretty pathetic thing.

I came down to the core last night via the DVP.....I got off on the Adelaide cut off and headed west towards the city ....and all I can say is WOW! That is the most impressive view of this tower. It's big, and bold and stands out. Will be one of the nicest additions to the skyline in our generation IMO. Can't believe we are getting another one of these.
