Further To Yesterday

So although you feel deeply embedded in the woods......

Look up....way up... and you see some nice little fixer uppers tucked in the woods.

Could this be someone's hunting cabin?

This is likely a rustic way station for hikers.

I may go in and check it out.

I may not.

Now back to civilisation.

Here, buses are lined up outside the Rosedale subway station. There are seven lined up here.

First of all, I doubt if anyone in this neighbourhood even knows there is a subway stop here, let alone having ever stooped to take it.

Secondly, as buses are considerably further down the schlepping pole than subways (sorry, Gord), I don't know who in hell they are waiting for.

Unless they stay until they are filled. In which case, they're going to need a bigger parking lot.

It's interesting that the TTC is cutting service to under-utilized bus routes.

But not all, apparently.

The irony here being I suspect these buses are probably barred from lumbering through these leafy enclaves.

in order to afford to live in these neighbourhoods a lot of these people must be frugal to the max. Buses and subways fit that profile. Their 'cheapness' would drive you and I up the wall.

At least in North Bay, I can confirm that anybody who has any other means of transportation, does not take the bus. Not one City of North Bay employee takes the bus to work. Thank goodness we are a public service.
