Last year there was a OT for Fan expo
Yep. Wasn't sure if it was still as big a deal to Toronto-GAF as it was, but I'll see if I can make one next week, since it would be a week before it starts by then.

My teenage self wishes I could go.
Bus driver on the 77 Route this afternoon was a hilarious asshole. He stopped at least three people to carefully examine their transfers, and kicked one tourist off the bus for not understanding the system (she got her transfer from the same station, not allowed). And he was doing about half the speed limit the entire length of the ride. I hope he's not a new regular on the route.
I never understand why drivers act like this. I like the drivers that barely even turn their head to examine your pass/transfer. I guess it's a power trip or something.
I once got one of those "check every pass and transfer closely" drivers on the 32. I theorized that either the dude had to deal with a lot of students trying to scam free rides, or he was doing a one man "work to rule" thing.
A trip that would normally take 10 minutes was taking twice as long, if not longer. Lots of people were visibly fed up after I was on for about 4 blocks.
Kicking a tourist off the bus is just dickish.
Yeah some TTC drivers are just mean in general. I kinda hope that the announcements about the TTC hiring new people is due to them getting rid of all the cruel or inhuman drivers. (I know that there is no chance of this happening)

I hope they are all replaced with Google self-driving busses. Pretty sure the public would go for that.
Did anyone hit up the Taste of Danforth on the weekend? This was the first year I've gone and actually ate some of the food. Highlight of the night had to be two blonde chicks all of a sudden brawling in the middle of the street.
I missed out on baconfest though it was way too early in the morning. I hope to go next year to check it out.

Every time you post these, I think "I really need to collect a set of Toronto skyline pictures to use as wallpaper." I've been using alternating comic book wallpapers for like six months.
We use to go just to walk, but given the price ($5 corn on the cob is about the cheapest you'll 'taste') and the crowd, we've passed it up the last few years.
Went to baconfest, except we got there at 12 so there was like very little bacon left
Taste of the danforth has been getting worse each year so we opted not to go this year, though I'm sad to have missed that street brawl.

I MISSED THIS?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Articulated buses set to return to the TTC. I use to ride these in Seattle. Not sure if it'll help on routes like Dufferin where buses crowd, but I guess it could.

I got to try Kangaroo last year...two years ago now? For $3. Sometimes the novelties are worth it.
But I wouldn't pay for corn.

I just made reservations at Woodlot for my 8 year anniversary with my lovely lady. I can't wait. It's our favourite restaurant.

When are they going to learn that all this surface level transit is a poor solution? I realize that subway expansion is slow and expensive, but I still can't believe they poured money into new street cars.

I expect an event-filled adjustment process for these new buses.

Was that the show Liza Fromer started on?
Rob Ford was "probably" reading while driving. His words, not mine.

Oh that Rob Ford, what a rapscallion. It's a good thing mayors don't have to face consequences of their actions. Otherwise he'd be in a lick of trouble. Teehee

Unfortunately I think it'll only be a matter of time before his idiotic driving kills someone. "I'm busy" isn't an excuse for being a dumbass.
At least he doesn't blow past streetcar doors. And don't forget his undying support for transit and cyclist.
Oh wait. But at least he's never been convicted of a DUI.
Our Mayor, ladies and gentlemen.

Person taking a photo of him reading is dangerous as well :/
Not if it was the passenger in the other car.
True, true! Although with Toronto drivers, Mayor included, I don't give the benefit of the doubt.
