69 Stations

That's all, folks!

2006-07-27T19:18:00.000-04:00

My quest came to an end on Tuesday with just a couple of days to spare.

To celebrate, I think I'll get married.

Famous Dave has a fun new transit-themed poem over at Read Everything:

I wait for a bus on the corner by your college
so I can get back to the other side of London.
A truck that is speeding along the wide street
honks and it's honking at me, telling me
that on Sundays the bus doesn't use this stop.

So I walk to the real bus stop and later
I tell you about almost missing the bus
and about the truck that saved me. There is a
language without words, I type. There is,
you reply, and its often more affective.

The first 100 (ish) days

2005-10-29T16:51:00.000-04:00

95 days to visit 14 stations means an average of one station every 6.8 days, or roughly 468 days to visit all 69 stations. In order to finish on time, I'll need to boost my rate of new-station visits to one every 4.9 days...

It has come to my attention that there are not, in point of fact, 69 TTC subway stations. That figure apparently also includes the Scarborough RT stations.

Since 69 is such a nice, round number (and because I can't be bothered to change anything I've already written) I have resolved to visit each of those stations, too.

Oh, for joy!

Dave recently accused me of being a transit geek. In order to prove him right, I will inaugurate my epic relocation to Toronto from parts ultra-suburban by attempting to vist all 69 TTC subway stations during my first year as a Torontonian.

Armed with my trusty TTC Subway Rider Efficiency Guide, I will collect a transfer from each station and blog my progress by scanning and posting 'em. I might comment occasionally or relate witty, heartwarming-slash-horrifying anectodes; I am, however, extremely lazy, so dont' count on it.

The clock started ticking at 2:49PM, July 28/2005 and so I've dated this post accordingly. I've hit six stations so far (well, nine really, but I lost my Main Street, Queen's Park and St. George transfers, so they each require a do-over) and will post those -- backdated, of course -- as soon as I can retrieve my scanner from the now-vacated Parent's Basement.

Edit: Instead of scanning, I've opted for ye olde cameraphone.

Let the fun-of-me-making commence!
