  • Most scenic TTC routes?

    I’ve taken a lot of TTC routes and found that some of the areas that these buses and streetcars pass is very beautiful. Here are some TTC routes I can think of:

    501 Queen

    From Long Branch to The Beaches, you see a lot of things. Lake Ontario, the extravagant condos near the Humber Bay, Trinity Bellwoods, Queen West, downtown, Leslieville and The Beaches. I haven’t done the ride from one end of the streetcar route to the other yet, but it looks fun.

    91F Woodbine

    I was on this today because the Bloor-Danforth was experiencing delays. Most of the route is around creeks and rivers, and when the bus reaches York Mills, you get a nice view of the DVP.

    504 King

    Most of this streetcar route is downtown, but the view along Broadview and approaching Roncesvalles from the east is nice.

    510 Spadina

    You go through the western boundary of U of T, Chinatown, Queen west, Rogers’ Centre, CN Tower, Rail lands and the Harbourfront.

    Any other TTC routes that provide eye candy to the TTC rider?

  • Bus Tour that turns Los Angeles “unconfidential”

    I was reading a news story in my city, Toronto, about a bus tour in L.A. that is open about the faults and imperfects of Los Angeles. Here is the article:

    I am curious to know, are most of the things said on this bus tour true? Or is this just another example of negativity towards L.A.?
