i hate the ttc in general. it is very unreliable and i hate being with so many dirty and inconsiderate people.

streetcars are better to be on but they are definitely not better for the cars on the road.

why can't they build something like the OCTranspo system in Ottawa. so fast to get around since the roads are built only for the buses. I didn't mind that at all.

oh. but rob ford, he fucking sucks and should go away. he actually won't do anything for the TTC, he said himself that he hates the TTC and always drives and will continue to drive.

She hasn't truly campaigned for as long as I've been alive. I've not seen a single Hazel sign or campaign announcement from her in my entire life. What scares me is, if she's dethroned... it'll be someone like Carolyn Parrish as mayor after her... Which is fine... I need a reason to move up north anyway.

If it takes him 4 years to destroy the unions and never be elected again, he'll have done his job.

It's too late... the Transitway was built while the city was still small and expanding around a city with a large green belt. It was cheaper than building a subway system. OC Transpo also had slinky buses decades before any other major city.

"The best car-related innovation we have is not to improve the car, but eliminate the need to drive it everywhere we go.” -Alex Steffen

quote:

Ford really doesn’t like streetcars in any form, and trots out the expected complaints about how construction fouls up businesses, how streetcars delay traffic and thereby create more pollution. Indeed, he would shut down our streetcar network and sell our new cars elsewhere to recoup whatever money could be had. The platform material says Ford would remove “some streetcars”, but according to a media source, Ford wants to get rid of all streetcars in 10 years. Oddly enough, they would be replaced by even more buses that would sit in the same traffic jams behind delivery trucks, illegally parked cars, taxis, J-walking pedestrians, and a whole range of problems common to congested 4-lane roads that cannot simultaneously be speedy arterials and local streets. Buses pulling into stops on narrow streets with parking regularly block through traffic because they can’t properly reach the curb. Bus bays are not an option because there are usually buildings right at the sidewalk.

excellent points this guy makes, me thinks - http://stevemunro.ca/?p=4333

the touristy street cars are on roads that arent even busy.

The only streetcars we should keep in toronto are spadina/queens quay and st clair. And why not run vintage cars on those for tourists? The rest need to go!

steve munro is half the problem, not half the solution. He's an anti car nut as opposed to a transportation enthusiast.
