A Journey Across Toronto on the TTC! 08/09/2021

[@PatreceSunflower]

Absolutely Incredible video Alex!! It makes me so proud to be a Torontonian seeing what a truly amazing subway & transit we have through your eyes! TTC is not like any other in the world!!!🌎👏😉💖

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Thanks!

[@PatreceSunflower]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO You’re welcome!

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

It’s easy to get caught up with the little issues and conveniences of the system, but overall it really is a solid system that will hopefully continue to see its network and services expand over the coming years and decades.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Oh yeah as the largest city in Canada, the future of transit in Toronto is really bright!

[@MarcoAngeloGaming]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO wait have u seen jhonny strides?

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

Imagine winning an award for making this video... I'd give one. This is a masterpiece

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Wow thanks bro

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO no problem man

[@psychonautO8743]

22:47 TOO FULL! "We're doomed!"

[@tanyaeldin2259]

I like the action

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Thanks for watching

[@SgtSnazzerino]

I need to visit Toronto again one of these days. Probably one of the best public transit system in North America.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

It used to be actually, nowadays it’s not so much but still lives to the hype in some ways

[@SgtSnazzerino]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO I visited back in 2017 and compared to my public transit it was pretty impressive.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

@@SgtSnazzerino If you don't mind me asking where is your public transit located?

[@SgtSnazzerino]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO I live in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. We have bus service that runs to Biddeford, Saco, OOB and Portland. We also have a new long service run that hits farther parts of York County. Besides that we also have the Amtrak Downeaster. In comparison: The city of Portland has a much better bus service than my area does.

That title belongs to Montréal

Great video! What a journey

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Thank you!

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

Would you do something like this again when lines 5 and 6 open?

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Perhaps

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO ok

Great video. Thanks Alex! I watch Johnny and Ken, and now I am happy to catch your videos

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

My pleasure Sanjay!

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

If downsview airport is not for passengers, what is it used for?

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Apparently, the airport is now defunct, it was an air force base and it had been a testing facility for Bombardier Aerospace until they sold the facility in 2018

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO oh ok

[@GamerB_YT]

Hey Alex. Does Toronto have just NovaBus or other busses as well. In the city that I live which is around Toronto, we have only NovaBus.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

We have plenty of Orion and New Flyer buses as well

[@GamerB_YT]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO Does Toronto have any Gillig buses?

[@tanyaeldin2259]

I met jonnny strides before

[@psychonautO8743]

who is johnny strides

[@MarcoAngeloGaming]

GOOD JOB ALEX!

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

Isnt the second platform on the line 4 portion of Sheppard Yonge Station used for trains going out of service?

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Yes, mostly during the late evenings to end of service

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO that's what I thought

[@tanyaeldin2259]

Amazing video Alex I think you should do one of these videos again

[@nickysexperience004]

I went to Eglinton West Stn for the first time today

[@chesterphung1143]

Good job dude keep it up.😀😆

[@vivanavlogs]

nice thumbs up and good day

[@kr09942]

Its 2023 and the LRT Still hasn't opened yet 😢. It will open in "2024"

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Indeed

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

Watch it get delayed again

[@kr09942]

It's 2024 so no news yet

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

@@kr09942 seeing how they kept pushing it back makes me think it'll be delayed

[@realperson896]

Well, there's a high chance it would be open in late 2024

[@TheKenContinuum]

Awesome video, Alex!

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Thank you Ken!!

[@Eth-w9j]

Wait just a second if you were going northbound to sheppard west station why didnt you take that train at 4:35 .

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Because I wasn’t done explaining my motive and wasn’t in a rush

I have twice

Wow awesome video! Wasn't Johnny at Scarborough Town Centre around the same time as you? I saw that you appeared in his stream I think

Yeah I interacted with him while he was streaming! That was before I left STC

Seven

@@APetrus-r5x Maybe in the summer, no promises

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

Imagine riding all 4 subway lines in one day in their entirety

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Nicky and Transmania Ontario have done it respectively

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

@@AlexGetsAroundTO and RM transit

[@Gorizzah]

what happens if you stay in the ttc after finch or don mills or kennedy or any terminal station. Could you film that or is it "Dangerous"

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Most trains don’t go past that into the tail tracks, some of them do though but the crew onboard would have to announce it going out of service and would scout the whole train to make sure no one is onboard. It is impossible to do so but chances are you’ll get stuck if it happens

[@MakemeaTorontoStar]

Holy this was long, I make videos and livestream too in Toronto and other road trips in Ontario. I didn't make any this long yet.

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Thanks for subbing, yeah I know who you are. I see you in the chat of Johnny's livestreams sometimes....also I think you live in the same area as me!

[@TheOGDieselFinatic]

36:46 what did you mean by a " card"

Info card, this allows you to link a public youtube video (or suggest a video) for viewers to watch. I don't do these anymore.

There are so many people that don't drive In Toronto

[@psychonautO8743]

my real name's matt and i love the cool train signs

[@Tuxedo-ur4vh]

what I don't get is why they want to take out the RT so bad. 30 years of service is nothing compared to the subway, if i am not mistaken the subway has existed since the 1940's

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

The subway has been here since 1954, but as the RT is 36 years old, it’s really getting worn down with vehicles and infrastructure and it’s really expensive for the TTC to maintain everything!

[@ciirca97]

[@funvideofan1625]

0:28 Oh Please Don’t Tell Me Metrolinx Is Change It To Cedarvale

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

Yes, that is true

[@MarksCar-rs1nm]

They shouldn’t take out the SRT and should do what Vancouver did and get newer trains

[@AlexGetsAroundTO]

I agree with you but unfortunately, when it was proposed back in 2006, it was very costly. The infrastructure would have to be significantly upgraded and the tunnel between Midland and Ellesmere would have to be widened for that.

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

and I think some people want a single continuous line out to STC, as opposed to having the separate line and transfer that only runs a couple of stations.

[@Eth-w9j]
