Who just parks on tracks, in the middle of the day, in the middle of a crosswalk? Like, that's not something you just accidentally do.

They couldn't find parking for the Raptors game?
Maybe they found themselves on the streetcar tracks, panicked and ran.

They should tow that car straight to Lake Ontario and dump it off there. If you're dumb enough to park your car in the middle of an intersection in a bloody intersection on streetcar tracks, then i'm sure you would have no qualms with getting your car out of the lake after running errands.

Or medical emergency. Perhaps it's a rental that they didn't return to the rack after they found out they couldn't reach the pedals, and lost their balance? Next, the e-scooters...

Solidarity with Hong Kong, which is seeing a sudden rise in cars just "breaking down" in the middle of the street over the last day or so.
EDIT: Just realized that was from Monday, but still an awesome sight to behold

TTC service information for Toronto Raptors Parade tomorrow
June 16, 2019
The TTC is advising customers travelling in or around the downtown core tomorrow to leave themselves extra travel time, as many downtown bus and streetcar routes will divert to accommodate the parade and events celebrating the Toronto Raptors.
The TTC is adding additional resources to accommodate commuters and those participating in the parade, including:
- A large volume of extra staff situated throughout the subway system and around downtown to help direct customers, answer questions, asses service and manage crowding.
- More frequent subway service.
- More frequent streetcar and bus service in the downtown core
The TTC will also be participating in the parade. A vintage General Motors bus, wrapped specially for the occasion, will transport dignitaries along the route during the event.
Several routes will be on diversion and/or modified service to accommodate the significantly increased volume of traffic expected in and around downtown, including:
- 5 Avenue Rd
- 6 Bay
- 29 Dufferin
- 72 Pape
- 121 Fort York-Esplanade
- 501 Queen
- 504 King
- 505 Dundas
- 509 Harbourfront
- 510 Spadina
- 511 Bathurst
Please note that the 510 Spadina will not be available at Union Station after 9 a.m. Anyone travelling in that area should use the 509 Harbourfront instead to connect with the 510 at Spadina Ave. and Queens Quay (Spadina Loop). Some of the diversions will be in place as early as 6 a.m. tomorrow and may continue into the evening rush hour. Please check ttc.ca for more detailed diversion routing information.
Toronto is a big city and although a great deal of advance planning is occurring, diversions and service may change as conditions deem necessary. Please continue to be patient and respectful of your fellow commuters and check @TTCnotices regularly for the most up-to-date service information.
Also, the TTC is reminding customers that service on Line 1 between Eglinton and Bloor Yonge will end at 11 p.m. tomorrow night for ATC signal upgrades. Shuttle bus service will be provided and the University side of Line 1 will operate as usual.
The TTC wishes the entire City of Toronto and Greater Toronto Area a fun and celebratory day at the parade and reminds everyone to travel safely.

Though Montreal and Toronto have different 'geography" and different travelling patters this may be of interest.
A shuttle service by ferry between Pointe-aux-Trembles and Montreal’s Old Port started Sunday morning. The pilot project, which follows a one-week trial last year, will run seven days a week until Sept. 28.
The Société des traversiers du Québec has awarded a three-year, $7-million contract to Croisières Navark to operate the water shuttle.
Aimed at pedestrians and cyclists, the shuttle offers an alternative to the lengthy commute for east-end residents.
Tickets can either be booked online at navark.ca or bought on site. Credit cards and cash are accepted.
The ferry costs $3.50 for a pedestrian and $4.50 for a cyclist. It travels between the end of St-Jean-Baptiste Blvd. to the ferry dock at the Old Port, and a one-way trip takes about 30 minutes. Ferries depart every 30 minutes during peak periods and every 60-75 minutes the rest of the day and on the weekend. The full schedule is available at navark.ca.

Interesting to see the Queens Quay shuttle bus is going all the way from QQ and Spadina to QQ and Sherbourne.
