I heard a bird dying! It's the aflockolypse (snl)!

Every time I see white-on-black screen my nerves clench. That is why I need a UEFI Bios to work around.

get a Mac

No way, windows FTW!

I love the Siemens too. The propulsion is so sweet than the Alstom propulsion. I love the sounds of the R142As and Siemens R160Bs.

Don't forget those PATH PA-5s....

I rather drive between cities than take mass transit. Only time I really take mass transit is when I go into Manhattan.

I dont like the European style trains, I think the stuff we have looks better.

@foxie: I fully agree with you. But to each his own, I guess.

lmao i hate the NGs... ugh. The 3Gs are not bad tho

Now that you know who is gone, we can again criticize that bus publicly.

@Astoria: The 3Gs look nice but I hate Toronto's. They restricted the best Orion Vs from going out on weekends.

@Threxx: Yup. No idea why he made such a big deal out of it, the VII is hardly Orion's best product. That would be the V, or the I.

Same here.

People try telling me how to live my life daily, so I can relate.

oh damn, sorry to hear. Hopefully you can get some of the good stuff down.

Well if it's sightseeing, you could just do some walking thru Central park and the major intersections on Broadway and it won't cost a dime other than if you need to travel by subway or bus. But in a good day you can do most of midtown, Lower Manhattan, and Central park in 2 days.

Well, the most expensive thing is actually getting there. Driving for 750 KM is expensive. Transit is not that expensive by comparison. But yes, I wish to see more of Central Park and whatnot.

Hmm...We're doing a Penny harvest for the homeless this year...Our school is rich (we have Smartboards in every room) so I'm not worried.

I don't know... we had a breast cancer awareness day yesterday and I didn't donate, because I'm not sure of where that money is going. They made a huge deal of the whole event with a lot of pink decorations which lead to me wonder if the cash is actually going to charity or if they're just using it to pay for the large amount of sports events. I'd prefer to donate to an actual charity than a school who claims to support one.

I like the interior of high-floors. The VII are low floors, and some of the Orion 7 designs get old to me.

I don't have any beef with the Orion 7, but considering we have over 1000 in Toronto's fleet, I got tired of them. VERY QUICKLY.

Also, my comment about high floors being better than low floors stands. I rode an Orion V on Dufferin Street last Friday. The street had potholes and bumps everywhere, and it was bad enough on the V,

...so it must be even worse on a low floor bus.

They still looked damn hot with the gates... but they were necessary...

I'd be the first to agree with you but unfortunately you'll find that that is not an opinion shared by many. I maintain that their "as built" forms looked the best, though.

Is that the same reason why the Mods and 42s also received gates?

the slants needed the gates because it wasn't safe to pass b/w the ends of the cars. Obviously a person shouldn't be moving when the train is running, but 'it's for safety'.

Clap-clap-clap! Perfect!

Allow it to express your feelings!

Thanks!

That's... bizzare. I've seen some posts made yesterday that were edited today, though.

if you are a new member, maybe there are new restrictions that have been added long after most of us were senior or veteran members.

people that "spam" likes are likely people that expect to boost their total amount of likes... I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine type of thing...

...and who's dante?

Dante is East New York.

thx.

@ ttcsubwayfan, agreed.

the TV interviews people and they wind up talking about how they like the new Subway trains.

Well, there are a select few individuals who, for example, will notice if their home line is 'downgraded' (load of nonsense, really) from NTTs to R62As (one of the Lex. lines) but most members of the public don't know the difference between an R142 and an R62, and couldn't care less.
