The city’s favourite transportation options

This post is part of the weekly Toronto Tuesday series

One of the crucial advantages of living in downtown Toronto is the fact that you are always around streetcars (trams) and bicycles. As you may know, I don’t have a car and therefore I am solely dependent either on public transit or on my bicycle. And I love them both dearly.

While our current mayor hates both, bicycles and streetcars, it is safe to assume that no transportation policy of Toronto is complete without the inclusion of mass transit and pollution-free transit options such as these. Plus, having old-style trams kinda gives a sexier look to the city, admit it!

In the picture, you can see a classic (rusted) ring and post bike stand next to its artistic incarnation. You can checkout some more of Toronto’s bike stand designs in my older Toronto Tuesday post.

PS: Lately I have been extremely irregular in updating my blog. Most of it has to do with my inability to juggle various priorities. I am not confident that I’ll get better but I do promise to try. If you have a blog, you know what I am talking about.

‘Toronto Tuesday‘ is a weekly photo feature about random stuff (landmarks, people, culture, seasons, etc.) in the city.

The long weekend was beautiful!

Queen Street West
This is from my neighborhood which I love a lot.

Dundas and Bathurst: A streetcar against an incinerator chimney
Toronto Western Hospital is located at the intersection of Dundas Street West and Bathurst Street.

What did you do on the weekend? I dealt with my annoying website host who had suspended my website for a strange reason. I also went plant shopping, took a very long walk across the town, had vegan Chinese food and some Chilean wine.

Streetcar siding

Toronto streetcar (tram) system is among the largest systems in North America. This streetcar siding (parking) station is located at north west corner of Queen Street West and Roncesvalles Avenue, few blocks from where I live.

I am getting increasingly attracted towards desaturated images – b&w, sepia, etc. So I’ve posted the same image in a different way.

So, which picture did you like more?
