A painting of me

Overcrowded streetcars, uninterested drivers part of the rolling horror show on Queen. ⇒

I took the streetcar to my brother-in-law’s place in Leslieville yesterday. My office is at Queen and University, his home is at Queen and Leslie. The trip took an hour and a half. To put that in perspective, I can make it to my parents house in Scarborough in less time. When I asked people how I should get out to Leslieville from downtown, they recommend taking the subway North to Bloor, East to Pape, and then taking the Pape bus south to Leslieville. I’m pretty sure that’d have shaved 45 minutes off my trip, easily. What a joke. The Queen Streetcar is a disaster right now.

  1. I feel your pain. The diversions in the summer are a real killer. The replacement 502 bus works ok, but it only goes to Church.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
