Subway Staircase Strategies
TOist always seems to go up the down staircase when it comes to the TTC. We invariably find ourselves walking towards an exit, only to discover it’s nothing but a wall with a door marked TTC Employees Only, behind which sit a group of dogs playing poker. Now we have the TTC rider guide to defend us from such frustration. It’s a pocket-size paper fold with mini-maps of each subway station and its respective ups, downs, ins and outs. You can download your own guide from the site, which also includes a list of subway quirks: Lawrence Station is the deepest, and the reason Christie Subway’s tiles don’t match is because of a fire in the station.
What’s more, there’s a TTC fan Yahoo group. And by checking out Transit Toronto, you’ll also learn that the city will be amuck with summer street transit renovations. Hooray. Good thing we have some staircases to memorize whilst we wait.
