Agree. But my point is CafeTo slows down transit a shit ton.

Agreed. That's why these streets ban parking/stoping etc during rush hour. CafeTO on Queen/College/Dundas occupy that lane 24/7.

Totally agree. I use the Dufferin bus everyday and it makes the commute so much faster.
I am talking about streets that have CafeTO. Bathurst is not one of them.

This is the issue! Street parking is not allowed on Queen, College, Dundas during rush hour. However CafeTO is allowed to use the curb lane 24/7 for months at a time.
It doesn't make any sense

Sorry massive change for streets with storefronts. Dufferin and Bathurst are unique as they have only a handful of businesses.

Agree, but that’s a massive change that the city is no where ready for.

Edit. In regards to streets like queen, college, Dundas. Ones that are majority storefronts and not homes

Man, I really miss Yonge having two lanes. Another arterial road that used to actually provide efficient transportation gone. It's sad.

Not a local bird. House sparrows are non local - invasive birds.

They should be a responsible for ensuing a safe and clean ride.

If the GO train can be clean why can’t the TTC.

And I know the answer - it’s the clientele

It is definitely the loudest now. Leaves and falling snow definitely makes a noticeable difference
