April 11: TTC

I love public transit! Why?

1. Incredibly good use of time: sleeping, reading, writing, texting, relaxing, gearing up, winding down...

2. Rich and sometimes wildly entertaining material: visual and aural candy, stimulation, stories, ideas...

3. Bumping into old friends, neighbours, acquaintances: even if it's not welcome, you deal with it (or get off at the next stop).

We also have a neat little tradition in Toronto, as I see it. Some call it litter, but I emphatically disagree. We leave our newspapers behind for the next person (we even ask each other for certain sections, in rare moments of communication). I can't bear to toss printed material - I like to see people reading!
