My Trip to Toronto |
|
|
Posted by MainR3664 on Mon Sep 3 10:37:37 2007 I just got back from a week in Toronto, connected with some long-lost cousins, etc.I found their subway plain, but functional and clean. Not the greatest from s railfan's point of view, but from a non-railfan commuter's postion, probably perfect. But what REALLY amazed me were the street-running trolleys, with trolley poles, on almost every east-west street. I had no idea such extensive street running service still existed anywhere in the non-emerging world, much less North America. I see now that I could have learned this on world.nycsubway.org, but I didn't- sorry. Also, I know this isn't Bus Chat, but Toronto also has a fair number of fishbowls in service- maybe 10% of the buses. Between seeign family and not boring my girlfriend totally to death, I didn't get nearly as much transit time up there as I'd have liked, but I was still very impressed. |
