Despite its excellent online coverage from 10:30 p.m. Friday and onwards, not all print editions of Saturday's National Post carried news of the TTC strike. All versions of its Toronto Magazine, however, included the presciently coincidental graphics shown above (Post illustrators' responses to the predictably utopian sentiments of the "My Toronto Is..." tourism ads proffered by OCAD advertising students for their annual let's-generate-PR-for-a-billboard-company contest). Graphics by Jonathon Rivait and Steve Murray, respectively.......

"Missed Connection posts are at an all-time high. "Help reduce the numbers by talking to that girl on the bus." Words of existential wisdom (which needn't be interpreted as gender-specific) spotted by former contributor Carly Beath on the streetcar stop at the southwest corner of Dundas and University.

Who knew there was a connection between the TTC and the Titanic, and not just that both are often associated with the words "transportation" and "disaster" (ba-dum-bum)? An exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre features four Toronto streetcar tickets salvaged from the world's most famous shipwreck by a 1987 expedition. The tickets are believed to have been the property of Major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, a wealthy Toronto socialite who was sailing home from England when......

While Newmindspace have organized subway parties in Toronto, SkyTrain parties in Vancouver, and métro parties in Montréal, sometimes nothing beats an old-fashioned streetcar party for a beat-bumping, track-turning, three hour party tour of the city. The TTC will rent a streetcar (PCC, CLRV or ALRV) for a minimum of three hours for a pretty steep fee to just about anybody. The customer can request a custom route, like Newmindspace has, that takes advantage of......

Photo by gbalogh from the Torontoist Flickr Pool. The Star's Jack Lakey, aka The Fixer, is invaluable. There is no better way to elicit a favourable response from the City bureaucracy than by sicking him on a case of civic neglect. It really is the most consistent way to get things done in Toronto. (The TPSC got Viacom to fulfill their contractual obligation to put street names on transit shelters simply by getting him......

Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve! The underground Harbourfront streetcar platform at Union Station is round already, but this wide-angle snap by Flickr pool contributor rebootyourcomputer really gives it an enhanced perspective. But it's not only the bowed curves we like—it's the overexposed glow of the lights,......

Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve! We were struck by this photo captured by Flickr pool contributor jim.vanmeggelen of the inside of Toronto Railway Company #1326—specifically by the workmanship inherent in these old streetcars. This particular car was built in 1910 and retired 41 years later, and......

The Islands of the Bahamas marketing department has finally exacted its revenge on Toronto Unlimited by wrapping two Queen streetcars with The Bahamas' inarguably similar, yet chronologically earlier design. Torontoist has been stalking the elusive Bahamas streetcar all week.......
