Other than being completely devoid of culture or eateries the station vibe is very similar to Montreal. Just... sterile. It's hard to imagine meeting someone in one.
I love the absence of tire dust though. Long live rails.
I know the bar is pretty low in Ontario, but Toronto Line 5 Eglington is a pretty ok metro!
The stations are exceptionally cavernous and empty. Hardly any bicycle parking or coffee shops or connections to the shopping centres or residential buildings. Just hallways for elephants. Why?
Certainly way better than bringing a personal automobile into this area though. I'm definitely never doing that again.

All Pipelines Break, Defend Our Great Lake!
"This past Friday, after the administrative law judge made the announcement to uphold the DNR permits for the Wisconsin section of the proposed line 5 pipeline, a banner was hung on Highway 13 between Washburn and Bayfield Wisconsin.
...
While clear cutting of the easement continues every day, even further construction of the Line 5 re-route around Mashkiiziibii is imminent. If you are making plans to stand in solidarity with Mashkiiziibii and the water, plan for this spring and summer."

Some more photos of the Line 5 Eglinton opening yesterday.
We'll be posting Crosstown related images all week to celebrate the new transit line.

I rode the finally-open Eglinton Crosstown today and it is *slow*. It didn't even average 20 km/h, and other vehicles were passing us.
