All rather odd. I bet no one would have said a bad thing had he just made a quick announcement while waiting for an ambulance. And I'm sure that someone would have assisted - if only to flag down the ambulance! But we've probably all seen it before (well perhaps not the ambulance). Driver jumps...

The Humber College bus terminal perhaps. But what about the station? I assume they are going to be using (for eastbound) the stops at the SW corner of Humber College I'm not sure why the 336 stops there but the 36 doesn't.

Ah I see the issue. The bus in question (the 36C) goes to Humberwood Loop - which is past the loop at Humber College. I was not aware of that. Mea culpa. Not the clearest naming. Hmm, and why is a loop on a longish street like Humberwood, called Humberwood Loop? What happened to using the...

Uh, no. I wasn't thinking about the future station - I didn't think there were buses stopping there yet. I had though, assumed, that the bus stop to Humber College was closer to Humber College than the subway station. I confess I've only driven there! At the same time - getting a coffee? Get a...

Do we now? Unless we are guessing the February 15th (the ides of February!) board change. Though the board change theory didn't work for Line 6.

You can't get a coffee at Humber College, or use a bathroom at 12:45 pm on a Wednesday? Admittedly TTC needs to step up their washroom/vending machine/coffee machine game at terminals. But that doesn't mean that complete idiocy shouldn't be disciplined. Operative word "complete". I certainly...

I don't see how a short 501 detour is going to speed it up. It's going to add mileage running up and down to Queen that negates any gains.

Perhaps they can run it free for a few months. 🤣

Well at least Saudi Arabia hasn't gone to his head.

Well they did increase the speed limit between Union and Cherry to 30 from 15. So that helps. 🤣 (yeah, I know, I'm mixing miles and km - and I think there's still plans to get it to 45 ultimately ... it would be faster travel and cheaper I'd think to build the tunnel from the Don to Union...

An emergency bathroom break I can see. Or other health/heat stress situation - otherwise just fill your flasks with water, coffee (or both) at the terminus. One stop before the terminus? That's a bit much. Hopefully they left the door open, and didn't imprison everyone on the bus.

Though one has 6 minutes of walking. There were some weird walking times at Finch West station when I was playing with it (though I've had it telling me before it takes 5 minutes to walk from the Woodbine station bus stop to the subway platform - it's 30 seconds up the stairs when I know the bus...

JFC ... I didn't think they did that any more, except in bathroom emergencies. Is there no toilet at the terminus?

No rush - they took decades to update the symbol with a CLRV from a PCC. There's still the occasional PCC symbol around.

I don't know if they'd even have to rebate that much, as 407's income from motor vehicles would increase, as at peak they'd have to jack the tolls significantly to keep the traffic flowing if all the 401 trucks landed on the 407. It would allow trucking companies to do more work in the...
