This Torontoist works from home but we have sympathy for our readers who commute long distances and often go without sleep. So what can you do? Get to bed earlier? That's for pansies. Sleep on the subway? But what if you miss your stop? Well London commuters can solve their problems with these stickers which you can place on yourself and hope that your fellow commuters are diligent enough to wake you up.

Last week, the possibility that our beloved bicycle post-and-ring installations were easily vandalized shook many cyclists, not only compounding the fear of theft, but because the devices have become hopeful symbols of a changing Toronto. A local design envied and emulated by other cities, it's only over the last few years that they've reached critical visibility (more than 16,000 are currently installed).

The above headline is an anagram for the Better Way. Inspired by a recent anagram map of the London Underground blogger RobotJohny does a similar map of the TTC. The results are often poetic. The stations of the Scarborough RT in particular lent themselves to anagrams like "Arborescent Grouch" (Scarborough Centre), "Morrocan Wad" (McCowan Road). We also think that "A Warmer Soupy Butt" should be the TTC's new slogan.
