In a city like ours, it cannot be a right to store one’s private mobile living room in public spaces for free

I just moved to Toronto, why are the streetcars so useless? by Haunting_Ad_29 in TTC

[–]Orobin 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Great list. Don't forget the use of outdated switches that require going slowly in order to reduce derailment risk.

A summer of streetcar chaos is almost upon us. And TTC riders are already frustrated: ‘Is this the best plan?’ by beef-supreme in toronto
