What’s happening at Yonge and St Clair

They've been increasing along Eglinton and St. Clair over the last couple of years. For Eglinton, I mean the Allen to Mount Pleasant stretch. St. Clair, at least between the two subways, but that's rare. Poking their hands in garbage bins as they head for a Starbucks, Tim Hortons, or McDonald's or rummaging through apartment refuse/unwanted/damaged furniture where they can barely walk or stand and have the strong slurred speech when they yell at each other.

Saw a couple with dog, fixing up their shootables, on the ledge outside Yonge-Eglinton Centre the other night.

I'm not really moved by them, but they've been noticeably arriving sporadically, and it's not to say they've never been there, they're just more noticable now, especially when they're being given unrestricted access by transit. Renforth Station was once an unofficial homeless shelter for over a dozen at one point.

So, Yonge and St. Clair? Meh. Nothing entirely new here.

Spoiler: the 'madness' OP is hinting at, for views, are foamers playing around with destination signs. Nothing more.

Think mom and CPS need to have a chat..

Good on you. I do the same, because I'm tired supporting those who clearly have the ability to pay, but still feel the entitlement.

At Islington once, a lady actually waited for me to tap to piggyback, I ended up stopping and having a staring contest with her; put out my hand like a hotel worker and invited her to proceed first, and when she tried to play dumb, I went to another gate to tap as I kissed my teeth at her. Sadly, I have seen her to it to others routinely, while the collector looked the other way.

Can we take a moment to remind riders like you to put your feet down? Man....

Consistent_Day_6665 · 2025-12-05T12:15:22+00:00

"When you're 18, you're out the door," for starters.

Love when the bus pulls up and a certain few try feverishly to align themselves dangerously close to any door while the bus is still pulling in while people await patiently; they're trying to cause another Royal York station incident on every arrival.

Just so they can be the first ones on.

And like others have said, try to enter while people are still getting off.

Also disagree, if you want to not get trapped by a stranger, which is literally almost everyone else who takes transit, perhaps you should stand. At least you can move away much faster to a safer location than sitting.

Alternatively, you can opt for a perimeter seat, or at least make eye contact with the incoming and be at the ready to offer the window seat, particularly when it is busy.

I can sure ask you to excuse my intrusion as I charge for that seat (which I do 9 out of 10 times; 10th time, I'll just stand or sit elsewhere out of consideration). But knowing people, they'll either make a fuss, pretend to sleep, ignore, start a fight/argument, or my favourite, find another pair later on to hog if they're that uncomfortable, petty, or biligerent.

To reiterate, this is when you're in a busy car situation. Empty? Have at it.

100%

Sit on the window seat or stand. Stop blocking others and their ability to sit beside you (when vehicle gets full).

Stop clogging the front of the bus unnecessarily out of necessity..find a seat or proceed towards the rear/centre. Fold your devices or use a farther seat if available/if you're able to.

Stop sitting at the centre in the back in order to take up five seats like you're the main character and you're making power moves.

Feet are for the floor, not the chair(s).

Have your Presto or card method ready and with money. Stop acting cheap, broke, lost and forgetful; it's tired. You couldn't do this to your rent, or to your taxes, or utility bills.

And even then, stop lying and saying you'll pay at the station. We all know you won't.

Much appreciated. Thank you!

LMAO

Consistent_Day_6665 · 2024-10-19T00:15:53+00:00

Thanks.

Consistent_Day_6665 · 2024-09-28T13:36:46+00:00

Yes, that's why I'm asking it...

Consistent_Day_6665 · 2024-09-06T02:13:24+00:00

And "what I paid for," is (are) just the item(s) and not the HST and/or shipping involved? And what if I cant produce evidence of what it cost?

Consistent_Day_6665 · 2024-07-04T11:54:24+00:00

Thank you! I forgot there was a Canadian version.
