Funny What a Little Snow Can Do…

Wow! Decided to do a 100% car-less commute (instead of the 95%) by not driving to the train station this morning. I figure it’s always a dice roll taking your car out on any snowy day let alone the first few. Almost the perfect choice. Everything was delayed. I guess the the upgrade of antiquated signals is not complete. My 10min delayed bus missed my 5min delayed train. At least I confortably made to my destination in ONE piece.

Got to love the GO Train and TTC though. In the 10 years of using it no matter what the weather I would have to say there are maybe a handful of times per year that there are serious stoppages or delays. Far fewer “road blocks” than many of my co-workers face driving in from Markham or Branford or wherever. The better way is also the SAFER way during the winter season…

    i concur. i’m all for them expanding the subway line because in my area, it would take longer to take the ttc bus (my only choice) to get to work. at least 1 hour in comparison to 25 minutes.

    but yes… it is safer and less stress since you can just chill out, read a book/nap/veg while some one else does the driving.
