[URBAN NOTE] Travelling time

[rfmcdonald]

It takes almost exactly fifty minutes to get from the Kennedy TTC station in the east to the Kipling TTC station in the west, travelling along the Bloor-Danforth line, at least on a Saturday evening. Very little was visible apart from tunnel, save towards the western and eastern ends when, owing to the diminishing returns on underground construction in peripheral areas of the GTA, the train surfaced and approached rapid-transit status. Next time I’m at Kennedy I’ll have to try the Scarborough rapid transit line, if only because it seems--from description on the web, and, well, the web--to be a classic example of an orphaned technology.
