    At least the humid weather is gone. Nice day ahead for a walk.

    In the case of a TTC strike tomorrow, park a lawn chair underground somewhere close to where you need to get, and self-impose yourself on it for 1 to 2 hours before moving on. That way, you won't feel any disruption from the TTC being on strike.

    I plan to limit, as fully as possible, non-essential travel during a TTC strike as almost all alternate ways to get around are likely to be quite congested, at least from Monday to Friday.

    ⁠@@michaelwarren202 it’s tempting to argue that TTC vehicles cause congestion. Certainly it’s ideal for a bus, tram or train route to help make commutes for those who rely on the TTC shorter than they otherwise would be although part of that has to do with routes that neither have dedicated rights-of-way, nor are express. Traffic congestion on Eglinton would’ve meant, from March to this week, being stuck in traffic for perhaps an insane amount of time had I taken buses to a medical clinic far to the west of my place of residence over any ride I had ordered through Uber or Lyft. That effective this weekend that clinic will move to much closer to my place of residence will mean a much shorter walk, but one that won’t be easy to get used to should, bar Wheel-Trans service that I have never used, and may never use, TTC service, by dawn in Toronto on Friday, grind to a halt. Should, effective after that TTC strike is over. I continue to use the same medical clinic, the walk will, from the nearest subway station, arguably be shorter, but as the end date of this months, TTC strike is TBD, who knows how many more times I will have to consider whether to walk to that clinic or try to find an Uber or Lyft ride that may be as far as 30 or so minutes away just for the closest available ride.

    TTC fares will increase, once they hike worker's pay, they'll take the money from us!!!! Another increased expense added to our budgets

    I used to ride GO Transit daily and when the GO was down, TTC offered to help and provided free service to stranded GO transit rider.

    @@_Matt_Matt_365_ This isn't the first TTC strike we've been through. That never happens. If every single person using TTC was given a car, traffic would move alone just fine.
