TORONTO | Buses

Those MultiRide and OneRide machines are so much better than anything the TTC or MT has.

Seem to that student is the major communter for VIVA

Ok one of Toronto's suburbs has invested in a new bus network. When I say very Euro I am talking about the buses themselves. Anyway I dont feel like giving to much backround info so this York Region, north of Toronto. I guess I should mention this is the first step to eventually getting light rail also. Anyway take a trip on VIVA.


Pics by Wyliepoon, commentary isnt mine either.

Various views of the buses on the Yonge Street route.
Note the lack of passengers in some pics is due to us taking pics at the last stop on the line. Buses where actually full, up till the
end of the line.








Infomation guides where on hand to help new commuters figure out the automated ticket system.



A nice comfy place to lean.

Bernard Ave Terminal. End of the line for now.







Yes Bernard Ave Terminal is located in a strip mall. You can take the bus to the power centre. Hows that for smart growth.
