Күн бұрынDid you know Bessarion was going to be a major transit interchange?
Well, no, not until April 1st. But now that it's April 3rd, I hope you'll enjoy this parody video of Toronto transit politics with our history of plans for the Bessarion subway line. We hope you enjoy this bold start on a new year that we're declaring starts now. Let everything up to March 31st be "the Year of the Pandemic" and let everything after be "the Year We Got Our Stuff Together."
Thank you for your patience while we were away. We're glad to be back, and we have some great new videos planned in the coming days and weeks.

My Dad and his family used to live in Caracas so I have many child hood memories at talara park. My late grandma used to take care of the ice rink there.

When my parents said they had to walk miles to school, I’ll compare it to walking to Talara park 🤧

Mockumentary gold. Makes me wish there really was a line there as an absurdist artistic statement lol

2:38 According to Toronto Public Library, this photo was taken on April Fools Day 1961, so the preview video was uploaded 60 years to the day of that photo.

I thought Bessarion station was supposed to be an eventual interchange with the Ontario Line when I first started watching

Oh LOL I almost thought this was a real subway line planned by politicians.

That would be cool, but seriously, 2 stations is not enough to support a rapid transit line. At least "this line from Bessarion to Talara Park" would have more stations in other parts of North York. But yes I understand, politicians and agencies decide what mode of transit to use not the people.

I do like the bus for serving low demand areas for public transit but again I don't because some routes are not as frequent as promised. E.g. A 69B or 69A was supposed to arrive at its bus stops every 20 minutes but delays for 37-40 minutes sometimes.

So let me guess,,, the city of toronto is going to pay for a subway that goes "one stop"? (2 bus stops)? Yet they want to rip down the Scarborough line and replace that with a few extra buses.Where did the city planning committee get these people? what shopping mall bubble gum machine did they get their university degree from? Because I want one too lmfao!

You mean to tell me that they can't just make a branch of the 85 to go through this street? Really ttc? Whoever thought putting a full subway or lrt just doesn't have sense 🤦♂️
