[URBAN NOTE] Four TTC links: buses, a date for Line 1 opening, Athanasopoulos transfer collectors

• CBC reports that the different express bus routes set up by the TTC have had more riders than expected.


• Steve Munro finds there's much to be concerned about with the way the TTC bought some new electric buses.


• blogTO notes that the new western extension of the Line 1, into Vaughan, has a set opening date: December 17.


• The sheer display of TTC fandom displayed by the Athanasopoulos siblings, collectors of transfers, is awesome. The Toronto Star reports.
