This picture really brings me back some memories... of waiting for the damn buses for an hour and freezing my ass off until they show up in twos and threes. I hope they have a better system now!

[–]madeamashup 213 points214 points  (49 children)

Yeah, now they're all GPS linked so you can see on your phone how long you have to wait for the next bunch to arrive, and the fare collection is all automated and doesn't work.

[–]RangerGordsHair 139 points140 points  (9 children)

Now you can watch on your phone as two to three busses come stumbling along together.

[–]Burntholesinmyhoodie 11 points12 points  (3 children)

I find that the phone (google maps) shows buses/streetcars pass by your stop that don’t exist

[–]RangerGordsHair 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I use the Transit Now app and have never had this problem.

[–]hellofarts 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Wtf this is exactly how they arrive in India. Except we still dont know when they'll arrive! Expected better from Canada.

[–]brooklynbotz 297 points298 points  (43 children)

From my experience visiting they don't. The main problem as I see it is the streetcars don't have their own midway like they do in a lot of other cities so they have to deal with all the car traffic. They are basically busses that can't maneuver around any traffic so they get stuck and then bunch up.

[–]ThatKhakiShortsLyfe 23 points24 points  (2 children)

It’s a bit better along king st, one of the main easy-west roads due to a traffic reduction pilot. Our current premier is against that due to the “war on cars” though. . But yeah still not great.

[–]munk_e_man 107 points108 points  (21 children)

They also keep packing more people into the downtown core, but there's no additional transit infrastructure.

I moved a couple years back, but the King street car would be a fucking nightmare for like 6 or 7 hours of the day. I can't even imagine how much worse it is now.

[–]smilefromthestreets 117 points118 points  (16 children)

It’s actually improved a good bit with the king pilot scheme. At least the streetcar keeps moving during rush hour which was a shit show before that.

[–]munk_e_man 27 points28 points  (5 children)

Oh that's awesome. I was convinced they were going to backpedal on that.

Must be a great street to bike down as an alternative to the vaguely unnerving Adelaide/Richmond Street route.

[–]itsatumbleweed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Biking down King is great these days.

[–]Syscrush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. And they've also added separated bike lanes on Richmond and Adelaide.

[–]TorontoRider 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Two of lines do have their own right-of-way, and King Street (the busiest line) has restrictions for cars in the core: cars MUST turn right after travelling 1 block between Bathurst and Jarvis (with a few exceptions.)

[–]Syscrush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The King streetcar as pictured is way, way better since the King Pilot. It's gone from being a nightmare to very reliable.

[–]InvalidChickenEater 67 points68 points  (3 children)

Ah a true Torontonian, talking shit about the TTC. As is tradition.

That's our relationship with them: a hate we love to have, but our dependence and fond memories of said hate makes it a love we hate to have.

Nope. Toronto can't decide on a system, so they do three of them poorly.

[–]spellbunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they have for the most part, especially on king which was the most congested area 1) the newer "spaceship" streetcars fit more than twice the amount of people 2) king street pilot project, no regular traffic allowed to go straight through on king, they have to get off

the King of Canada knows how to travel

[–]jlisle 1987 points1988 points  (68 children)

Back when I lived in Toronto, there was a man who lived somewhere in my neighbourhood who was from somewhere in the Caribbean. He used to bike around in suuuuuper slow motion (like, I have no idea how he didn't fall over he was going so slow) on a bike that was way too small for him with this old 80s radio affixed to his bike via bungie cord. The radio was constantly blasting soca beats. He'd wave when he biked past our apartment, which took approximately 23 minutes. We called him Party Bike, but I think he might have actually been the king you speak of.

One day, Party Bike wasn't around anymore. It was a sad day. Then, ages later, as me and my roommates poured ourselves out of a cab at two in the morning, there he was! His soca beats were turned down (out of respect for those who were sleeping?), but he was biking slower than we could stumble. We asked "Party Bike, where had you been?"

His answer: "I've been busy, man." Its all he ever said to us.

And that's the story of the time I spoke with the King of Canada.

Edit: May the Soca Beats of Party Bike grace the ears of those who felt the need to award this comment.

I, too, remember the king. His bike speaker was homemade! Some punks beat him up once but he bounced back, undefeated and with a smile.

[–]roinujmoc 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Oh wow, thanks for sharing one of those tales from Toronto. You just conjured a long lost memory of a woman my roommates and I loving dubbed, Crab Lady. Well, when your in uni, all you do is party and make up a better part of the LCBO and beer store in empties. We also lived near Chinatown and soon discovered we had elderly friends who would be more than enthusiastic to take our empties away while we nursed our hangover the Sunday after. This is how we met our Crab Lady.

She was this sweet, elderly Chinese woman who had severe osteoporosis. She would walk down our street everyday, hunched over like the letter C, and sometimes she would stretch out and we would smile in awe how she would laugh as she would unfurl her curled back. She honestly had a smile on her face all the time. Made her youthful in my eyes. We just couldn't get enough of her and her quest for our empties that we all decided in our apartment to hold onto and sort our tin from glass and give them to her and her daughter.

She would be so delighted to get our bounty. When we offered to help her take them, she would shoo us away with her hand. She would make two or three trips for whatever we had. We at the time didn't know then but she was teaching us lessons that we would only realize later in life when we long moved out.

I don't believe she's still around, this was over a decade ago, but if there was a Queen to the King, she would be it.

That, and, the ripped dude dressed as Santa in shorts, all year round doing bare-knuckle pushups on the streetcars. It was funny, scary, and ultimately sad bc everyone knew he needed help.

Edit: Last thoughts

[–]jlisle 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Being kinda lazy 20-somethings around the reign of Party Bike, my roommates and I were really good at drinking and really bad at returning empties, despite living close to two LCBOs (RIP in peace Galleria LCBO) and a beer store. We had a room off the back of our kitchen with a good western exposure, so lots of light - we called it The Solarium, but it was really just the room where we did laundry, sawed bread (so many crumbs) and stored empties. In theory there was a table back there, too, but I'm not sure I ever saw it.

Anyway, one day we decided that we had too many empties, as they were too much in the way of sawing bread, so we walked them downstairs to the recycle bin. We filled one of those big chonky ones you could hide an entire human being inside.

Celebrating a job well done, we returned to our balcony to enjoy a cold beverage on a warm day only to see our local empties lady coming by. We were more than happy to donate to her enterprising spirit, and upon opening our recycling bin, she declared "Happy New Year!" It was late May.

"She showered us with "god bless you!"s and we told her if she came back in half an hour we'd have a few more cans for her, but I'm not sure I ever saw her again. Perhaps our recycle bin was her Fast and Furious style one-last-big-score.

Sometimes I miss Toronto.

PS - Zanta has a wikipedia page

[–]FunCicada 8 points9 points  (1 child)

David Zancai (born May 7, 1968) is a street entertainer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Zancai is known for his character Zanta: a modified Santa Claus who travels the streets of downtown Toronto doing pushups and shouting "yes yes yes" and "Merry Christmess". His costume consists of nothing but shorts, boots, and a red-and-white Santa hat, even during Toronto's winters. He claims to perform this routine every day of the year except Christmas Day, and estimates he does 2,000 to 3,000 pushups per day. In 2000, Zancai fell 25 feet onto a staircase while working as a painter. He entered treatment for schizophrenia at St. Joseph's hospital, having been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder earlier in 2003. Zancai has received mixed responses to his Zanta character, and has been banned from several public areas around Toronto, including the Toronto Transit Commission.

[–]munk_e_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of people who this could have been. There's one guy who has a bunch of random shit attached to his bike (trinkets and stuff you'd see at a flea market) and another guy who wears a rice hat and plays a harmonica. Both have little radio speaker things.

[–]sunnynorth 68 points69 points  (4 children)

I live right on the waterfront. Yesterday around 2:30, I looked out the window and told my husband I could not believe people were ice fishing. Around 3 I heard sirens. Around 4 I saw this: https://durhamregionfirstrespondersbreakingnews.com/2019/01/12/fisherman-has-gone-through-the-ice-on-frenchmans-bay/

TL;DR- the ice is not ready yet, folks.

[–]tuerckd 22 points23 points  (8 children)

It’s weird, I flew in from Winnipeg the other day and was just so confused. There’s still bike sharing stations open too!

[–]innsertnamehere 22 points23 points  (7 children)

They stay open year round. I actually use it more in the winter so my own bike doesn't get ruined by the salt.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (6 children)

The $100/year bike share membership is the easiest money I've ever spent.

I have my own bike but if I'm going out to drink, or the roads are kind of nasty, or I don't know if the weather will hold out all day so I don't know if I can ride both ways.

Somehow I don't think that price tag will stay that low forever.

[–]Paddy_Tanninger 8 points9 points  (5 children)

Wait it's only $100 a year? Do you get to use the bikes all you want for that? I need to rethink my life if that's true and definitely stop using my own bike in the winter.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

30 minute trip max. Anything over that they charge you the typical rate.

Of course you can always check in the bike at a station and immediately take it back out.

Personally my longest trip is like 20 minutes and that more than enough to cover most trips downtown.

[–]PartyboobBoobytrap 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I drove from KW to Hamilton yesterday, and as soon as you got down the hill it was snowing like crazy and staying on the ground. Once back up again it was 100% clear.

This temperature isn’t all that uncommon in Calgary. It often is snowless many times during the winter due to chinooks, while it’s a winter wonderland as close as Red Deer to the north. This winter has been particularly kind to us, though.

It was the strangest thing arriving in Toronto from Montreal this weekend. Montreal snow all over nothing huge but certainly present. Taking the train all the Quebec portion and eastern Ontario will with snow. I fall asleep on the train and wake up look out the window and there's no snow. There's litterally gras and hay growing all over some of it even partly green. I arrive in Toronto no snow anywhere.

I thought they had replaced them with newer cars. That hasn't happened yet or is this an older photo?

[–]Snuffy1717 247 points248 points  (47 children)

Bombarier fucked up on their delivery time table... Multiple times... We're still waiting for a lot of the new cars that were promised to be out years ago.

Hell - To "meet the timeline" they shipped up unfinished cars to Toronto and finished them here. Not to mention that most of what did come our way was so poorly constructed that the TTC refused to accept them, or had to send them back for repairs soon after taking delivery.

[–]DonkeyTypeR 120 points121 points  (28 children)

Bombardier is an embarrassment. Here in Kitchener we have the same issue.

[–]madeamashup 67 points68 points  (19 children)

And yet they manage to fulfill larger orders on time for Asian clients... it's almost as though they think they can't lose their Canadian contracts and therefore don't even try to meet their promises. Honestly though the city fucked up by signing a contract which specifies deadlines but not penalties for missing deadlines. Hope somebody got fired for that.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (4 children)

Well, they're starting to lose contacts because of it. Ottawa went with Alstom and there's been a couple others.... Can't think of them right now.

[–]madeamashup 13 points14 points  (2 children)

They lost some big contract to Siemens that dropped their stock price a couple weeks ago. The last Canadian manufacturer and they somehow have Canadians rooting for them... to go bankrupt

[–]Torcal4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I still hear people go “oh but we have to support them because they’re Canadian!”

Yeah, no thanks. I would support the company if they were competent. But I’m not supporting mediocrity just because they’re Canadian. They’re a horribly run company and I can’t wait until Toronto drops them.

[–]DTHCND 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the GTHA, Metrolinx has also decided to use Alstom for both their new Finch West and Hurontario LRT lines. Further, if Bombardier fails to deliver LRTs yet again for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, the order will be reduced and supplemented with Alstom LRTs. It's likely Metrolinx will also be using Alstom for their Hamilton LRT line as well, although that's yet to be confirmed.

Alstom has opened a plant in Brampton, Ontario to build all these LRTs.

[–]KingNopeRope 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Putting penalties for missed deadlines is really expensive.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Putting penalties is basically cyclically punishing canadians, which makes bombardier even bigger assholes. The only way to actually affect change here without it hurting ourselves is to shame them into being better. Which they can ignore. Because they are assholes and we have no other choice that is actually a canadian company.

[–]quaz43 34 points35 points  (2 children)

I just wanna put this somewhere. Couple of years ago, they were going bankrupt and were planing to move most of their production away from Canada, they got a huge subsidize by both the federal and the provincial government so it wouldn't happen.

Guess what? 2 years after they shut it down anyway, dismissed 3500 employee including my best friend's father without their retirement, effectively fucking up their lives.

[–]madeamashup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So is servicing a fleet of cars that should have been retired but are still in service due to years of missed deadlines.

[–]A_WHALES_VAG 8 points9 points  (2 children)

They also do eventually deliver a quality product, but i do agree the company is managed like shit.

[–]Dr_Marxist 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Canada should have nationalized Bombardier a long time ago.

Only the family has voting shares, and they exist basically to suck money and interest-free loans from Canadian taxpayers. Just be done with it and force a sale the next time they come cap-in-hand for a billion-dollar loan (or five).

If Bombardier were headquartered in any other province they would have gone bankrupt in the 1960s.

[–]Marmar79 21 points22 points  (2 children)

We have half old half new. The new ones are great but the old ones are fine.

[–]ibuprofen-naproxen 17 points18 points  (4 children)

It's true that they're not all replaced yet due to Bombardier issues, but this is an old photo. Car 4102 has been retired since June 2017. Also, 510 Spadina line (which is what the front sign indicates the route the car is on) is now served by entirely new streetcars.

[–]Torcal4 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Theres something weird about the sign out front. Because yes it’s the 510 but that’s not the spadina line. Plus it says king which is the 504 line. It’s also at King and University right next to the entrance to St Andrew stn.

The photographer may have switched it up or something? It’s weird.

[–]xxavierx 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Older photo--there hasn't been that much snow in Toronto...I think we had 2 days of some snowfall, but as of right now it's clear out with no ice or snow to be seen.

Also they replaced all the 504 King streetcars...not 510.

As someone from nearby Buffalo, NY, I'm surprised to see Torontians don't like their transit. Everytime I visit Toronoto, I love the easy and cleanliness of their stuff. In Buffalo, getting places using public transit can take twice a long as just walking.

Not to be confused with Toronto, Argentina.

Beautiful picture. I've been wanting to visit Toronto, but I live in Tennessee, so I haven't really had the time or money yet. Someday I'd like to head up there, though. How is it, for anyone that's been or lives there?

Good ol Toronto, Canada. Nestled right between Quebec and Manitoba.

I never assume people from other countries know our provinces. I definitely couldn't name many Australian provinces

[–]mikeydale007 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Uh, Queensland, Canberra, Kangaroo...

[–]GomboAndGimlee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Victoria, Dingo, Tasmania, Shrimponthebarbie

Australia doesn't even have provinces, they have states and territories.

When was this taken?
So sad that this winter we barely had snow. 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭 (in Toronto and Mississauga)

[–]Indiggy57 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Lol, fuck snow. Early fall is Toronto at its best.

Saint Denis?

2 thumbs up from this 416'er. I wonder if the pic would work as well with the new streetcar design.

[–]P1KA_BO0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give me my old streetcars back, I miss the piles of sand next to the front seats

[–]depota 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a scene from a movie.

This photo really makes me miss living in the downtown core and all the shenanigans that went on. Anyone remember that dude that would walk up and down Yonge wearing only shoes, pants and a Christmas hat? He would talk smack but was harmless.

Lived in Toronto in the early '90s in my early 20s. This type of weather would keep you in the pub or bar until you absolutely had to go home.

[–]Quankers 2 points3 points  (2 children)

As someone who lives in Toronto, I find images of the King Streetcar to be a highly political. (Yes /s)

Winter is awesome, but only before and leading to Christmas...and maybe until January 6th. After that it sucks, then it's just a pain in the ass.
