1 or 2? Why so long? I don't use a guard at all. I would go completely bald if I wasn't afraid of nicking my head all the time.EvilMario said:I wish I had an accent that awesome..
I actually buzz my hair down to a 1, or 2 every couple of weeks, so I haven't been in a barber in over a decade. Low maintenance, saves money, and I can come in after it's been raining and can dry my hair with one stroke of the hand.
New design unveiled for the streetcars, which are 'on track' to hit Toronto in 2013.
"If you're keen on checking out the vehicles in person, the TTC will be showing off a mock-up of the front half of the vehicle from November 12-15 (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.) at the Hillcrest yards."

So pretty.

Mona hairdesign (blonde lady at 1 christie) also does good non-azn haircuts in the area. She's done some epic hairstyles too. My regular haircut/dye is now by Oskar and Ethan of Oskar on Scollard. Their price range is 10x as much as yours though.
Ethan does great haircuts for guys, and his cuts are made to grow out really well. My boyfriend had his haircut in like January, then another haircut in September. It was long as Sawyer from LOST but still looked good.
edit:
how does the ins/outs of the rear doors on the new streetcars work? will it have amsterdam's blocking thingos installed?

Backwards seats? WHY?
Anyway, I just heard the Leafs are in first place. What is going on?

Sure makes it look like this section won't have very much room for standing. And now I get to face those weirdos on the streetcar clipping their nails, eating, coughing, and smirking. ;_;
I like how it looks like you can exit at the back of the streetcar, unlike in the current ones where if you go stand or sit at the back it's impossible to get back to the doors to get out when the streetcar is full.
I don't like how all the vertical handrails curve away from you like in the new subways, making them harder to reach when the car is full, and there's no high grab bar running down the middle of the car so people sandwiched in the middle are screwed again. All subways, streetcars, and buses should have high bars all along the middle of each car, and yet the new ones don't, or in the case of the new subways, don't do it the whole length of the car. It's so much easier to hold on to something in the last-gen subway cars compared to the new ones. It's not as big of a problem with streetcars since they're not as wide, but still, it's disappointing.

Dude stabbed in the neck with a pair of scissors in the City Hall library.
Apparently they both wanted to use a computer station and things got out of hand.
The stabber tried to walk away but the police caught him using their GUNS.
The stabbed man was taken away in an ambulance.

They should just split the screen into quarters and run 4 times the ads at the same time. The TTC would be free to ride!EvilMario said:Well, I'd obviously expect three quarters of the screen to be ad space.
Should've listened to Ford and closed all libraries.Dyno said:

It's like the classy classy GO train look. Only red.lunarworks said:

As for the Leafs, hell is currently experiencing a cold front.
But it's a long season. Could get unseasonably warm at any point.

Fuuuuu why didn't I know deadmau5 was playing the Rogers Centre tonight? FML!!!
Concert is broadcasting live on the radio (103.5) but not nearly the same experience.
7pm-2am. What a weird ass time slot. 7pm is so early. Did anyone open for him? He's already on now and I can't imagine him going for 7 hours. Also, wtf at a 7 hour show. :/
Wait nvm this show on the radio isn't even live. :/

I was reading an article about why the seats will be arranged like that
"The foursomes dont so much save space as allow for the LRV components underneath the new low-floor vehicles"
So I guess they did it because it made it easier to store the mechanicals underneath the section where the seats are back to back.
Maybe there still could have been a way to do it while not having to resort to this type of seating but either way, that is the explanation.

So what? People aren't going to stand around if there's an empty seat available. Have you ever been on a GO Train?dudeworld said:

For an hour and a half? Eight years of riding GO trains, I've never seen it happen, unless they're getting off at the next stop.crimzonflame said:
BladeWorker said:
To be fair, the TTC and GO Trains are vastly different creatures. I use to ride the GO from Clarkson to Union, and you're right, most people will take any seat available.
However, very few people will ask someone to move their bag on the TTC streetcar if they have it in the seat next to them and plenty of people won't even bother sitting next to someone else, especially if they're in the aisle seat.
I don't hate the design of the new seating arrangement, but it doesn't look like there's as much standing room right at that portion, as there is now. Definitely have to see the finished product before passing judgement.

hmmm...so I can tell another dev from ND about how disappointed I was with UC3?Takao said:
Can also sneak in a disappointment about Schenn's play lately as well!

LOL!!
The going assumption is that it's going to be purely Proof of Purchase. You buy a ticket at a vending machine on the corner, (or just have a valid metropass) and just walk on. There would also be Presto machines to tap against inside. Some Vancouver busses allow rear-door loading like this.Rinoa said:

I don't think this will change anything. Along the Queen streetcar line, people board in the rear as well with some paying and some not.
I think I've been checked twice in the 14 years I've lived in this city? Personally, I think they should just do away with metro passes and tokens and just go on a pay for distance system or at least something more efficient like the octopus cards or those bus cards in Seoul.
Hop on, scan your card when you get on, scan your card when you get off. I can see this not being popular for people who need to travel long distances, but it makes more sense and cuts down on fucking change and lost tokens.
Sigh...who am I kidding? People are going to find a way to take advantage of anything here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presto_card#TTC_participationThe TTC has dragged it's feet in this regard. Personally, I would think that the union won't be too pleased with such a system potentially taking out jobs.Kuro Madoushi said:
I thought I'd heard that the 501 was already PoP, but I don't live in town, so I wasn't going to assume. So basically it would be like that.Kuro Madoushi said:
"Doing away with" passes and tokens is entirely independent of moving to distance (and/or zone) fares.
Once they fully roll out Presto, they can then move to fare-by distance. Passes will probably stick around for a few years of overlap.

I'm well aware of Presto.I'm also aware of other countries already implementing similar systems already with much larger and more complicated systems than ours.
"once they roll out Presto?" This is the TTC we're talking about here...

Anyone have any suggestions to get from Brampton (Bramalea and Steeles) to U of T St. George campus by public transportation? Go bus/train to union then TTC to Bloor/George is the only way I can think of but this requires a GO fare and a TTC fare and would cost me about 20 dollars a day.
I've been getting rides to school but starting in January I'm on my own. Really no idea what im going to do.
