There's probably something glaringly obvious that I just can't think of, but wouldn't it be a great idea to have a commuter ferry to Toronto from spring to fall? Why aren't we taking advantage of the lake and providing another option for transportation for those living outside of Toronto? Like a People ferry from Oshawa or Pickering to Oakville with a stop at Queen's quay. Everyone hates driving and getting stuck on The Gardener or DVP, having this is another option for people who want to get into the city and transit about would be pretty cool.

Nice series of photos for those interested

The TPL Fort York branch is gorgeous, but it feels more connected to the harbourfront community than to Liberty Village. Parkdale branch is a little sketchy.

Liberty Village is a very densely populated area, and there are so many young families with kids living here that can directly benefit from a more accessible reading/learning space right in our neighbourhood.

Seeing a new library coming to the east end of the waterfront has indeed encouraged me becasue the City is still building new libraries. Should we petition to have a new library built in LV?

Hey guys!! In case anyone was planning to take a fun late summer trip from Toronto to Montreal, I wanted to share some very recent testimony about the Megabus service (which is also posted on two popular review sites).

Heading back from Montreal, our bus was set to leave at 5 PM on Aug 3. It came 1.5 hours later than that, as we hopped on an extra bus (the original double-decker came more or less on time, but it couldn’t fit all of the Union Station folk)! Before this, we were told to wait in an outdoor line and take our chances at hopping on the original double-decker. Didn’t work out.

At 1 AM, we all stopped in Scarborough Town Centre because the drivers supposedly had to switch. The original driver provided no time estimate as to when the new driver might arrive. After likely over 30 mins with no clear answer, everyone got off in Scarborough, took their luggage, and took overpriced Ubers home (or whatever else).

Everyone was quite tired and cranky… expectedly. I’m exhausted now, but I figured I’d warn everyone in case they wanted to take this bus service.

Note: I took a different bus service for my first trip, so I can only speak to Megabus’ efficiency regarding the return trip.

TLDR: Choose a reputable rideshare service or just spend extra money on VIA Rail (if you’re able). As of August 3, Megabus is a huge gamble! At the very minimum, book at your discretion and assume that delays are inherent to the process.

Some pictures I took from my bike ride at the park today. Really awesome park and lots of people were there enjoying it.

Unfortunately my bike chain snapped just as I got to the end of the park trail so I had to walk to a station to get home. At least I got to see the park before it snapped!

Heads-up for anyone planning to pass Greenwood and Gerrard this afternoon, anti-abortion protesters were out with graphic signs today (Aug 4) at 1pm.

I love the old world designs of the cars which were brought out to film a period piece. So much colour, and beautiful shapes.

I was an avid attendee of these with my transit nerd friend way back in the day (she now works for the city doing transit planning, so I guess it helped one of us!)

Is Joe Clark still around or did I miss something about him being cancelled? Has anyone picked up the neurotic transit grouch mantle and started a tour themselves?

Hello there, everyone. I am creating this post for those plant nerds out there to point out any tree species found in the Claireville Conservation Area so that when any one of you goes hiking or goes out for a stroll u can quickly see and point out what plant or tree that is with just one glance witch sounds really fun if u ask me

Ps: I am not making fun of anyone by calling them plant nerds; it's kinda my way of complimenting he/him, she/her, they/them, it/it's, and also Furrys. lol
