lol awesome. As for tunnel asbestos, you know they have a similar set up w the windows open in the Uk Tube (albeit at a different location) but how does that work? AC vs an open tunnel window? I'd take the AC...but depends on electricity...

I'd rather them spend that money on extending the lines further north.

But they look alright, I guess.

sometimes the AC just doesn't work.

I've been in England twice in my life and both times have been during a heatwave. I believe it reached 35C when I was there a couple summers ago and that was UNHEARD of over there. they had to shut down a few of the lines because of the heat and the tracks expanding...


But having the windows open on the tube was a great relief to the heat, especially on some of the other cars that didn't have a proper ventilation system.

TTC subway system needs glass walls/doors, like in Hong Kong.

As much as that would add to safety they'd be ugly as hell. I love the feeling of the warm breeze rushing by you as the train pulls into the station.

while on the topic of ttc
i don't understand why did they reduce the number of ttc maps above doors. there used to be a map above each door and that is not the case any longer. i do not use the ttc a lot and really need the map sometimes. i find myself trekking to the door that has one and that can be hard during rush hour

Grab one of those foldable maps from a station and keep it in your bag. The entire TTC map should be printed on 3 back panels, no need to unfold the entire map.

they have the map available for download on their website in PDF format. It's actually the entire ride guide with bus routes too. I saved it on my cell phone and really comes in handy sometimes.
