Scarborough section of the new Crosstown train is painfully slow. Nothing is timed right, left turning cars get priority. Always standing still.

I don’t ride the 510 all the way to Spadina station that often but right now three flexity trams in the tunnel waiting to unload.

There is no emergency.

That is terrible line management.

We’ve been stopped in the tunnel waiting to unload for almost half my journey time.

Random note... I tend to like Niz keyboards a lot, especially with 35g domes. Their boards are like Topre but smoother and nicer. They've kind of spoiled me for MX keyboards... until today. Some sample TTC Frozen Silent V2 switches arrived, and they remind me of nothing less than Niz domes in an MX form factor.

I'm going to get some more of them and fill out this Vortex Multix board I used to test them.

The northbound bus stop on Dufferin at queen is out of service. Has been for weeks, will be for months more.

There is no signage directing people to wait one street over.

When you call the TTC about this, you get bounced between no fewer than three departments...and I finally reached someone who told me no, the stop that all buses are detouring around entirely is actually open. I guess the paperwork I got in the mail about it was just 4 pages of creative writing.

I give up. I wasted an hour trying to get clear signage, but people can just waste their time waiting, it's not important. Who cares, certainly not the city.

Why do I even bother interacting with the TTC?

Hinterland Who's Who: Eglinton Crosstown. We think this is a mating pair but we're still waiting for confirmation. OK, we're still waiting for completion...take that as you will.

The City is asking what we think about adding transit priority lanes (that cyclists would be allowed to use too) on Bathurst St.

Yesterday I saw someone reading “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler on the subway.

Talking to strangers on public transit isn’t something people generally do in Toronto, but I hope she loves that book! It’s fantastic and such a topical read for the 2020s.

And if she happens to be on Mastodon, I’ll talk to her about it here.😄
