I remember a few years back, Adam saying that he would rather spend the money on buses than a smart card system. It seems as if the TTC believes they can improve the system by simply throwing more buses into it.

Here is an idea, rather than simply throwing more 40 ft buses on to the streets (which end up bunching anyways), invest in some 60 ft articulated buses to carry more passengers, smart cards to allow for all door boarding and decrease load times, and add bus lanes with express branches which only stop at major intersections to speed up commutes. Also add 2 hour transfers so that commuters can get off the bus and do some shopping without worrying about spending an extra fare (and help the economy as well).

This way, you move just as many - if not more people and do it in a way that makes the service more attractive, and with lower labour costs as well. Of course, this requires some vision, something the TTC does not have. So instead, we just get more crappy and small Orion buses.

I thing the x2 condo is over rated! the location is so close to the ghetto and lots of "hostel", gays and gangs and drug dealing.
personaly I belive " Ice" condo is at a much better location. well then again it's also more expensive.
