Anyone here from Toronto?
bad_service is today's illegal TTC strike.
The strike couldn’t come at a worse time. There was little notice for riders who didn’t hear about the impending dispute over the weekend. It’s been difficult to hail a cab in the city as the morning rush heats up, and they’re doing landmark business. The walkout comes on the city’s first ‘spare the air day’ of the summer. Sweltering temperatures in the upper 20s and humidity levels in the 30s are expected, swelling pollution levels across the G.T.A., even as more cars are forced to hit the road. And in an irony of timing lost on few, Monday also marks the beginning of bike week. It appears many more people will be taking part in that event than they expected.
