My sense of humour: bus number 777 takes us to the casino. Walking away from the bus stop (or out of the casino after losing all your money...?) seems to be unthinkable.

Although it's far from a highspeed train, track quality makes the ride feel quite fast ;-)
We were stuck behind a freight train, but then were able to pass it, now on time again.

High-floor bus with level entrance from the median of the avenue, therefore the doors on the left. Seperate bus lane. Efficient.

I feel safe in this city so far. But if crime is that high that they only can "solve" it by separating men from women, it leaves a bad aftertaste.

@serac Didn't get a good picture, but the London Transport museum has one of the old Metropolitan line cars (from the days when it was hauled by steam!) with a women's only compartment. So literally a Victorian concert.

The women's only cars on the subway in Tokyo are only technically women's only at rush hour, which makes it awkward when you get on one not at rush hour, but there's "women only" signs everywhere.

@serac The glass for the body of the building was manufactured by Canadian Pittsburgh Industries and was coloured using 2,500 oz (71,000 g) of gold, valued at CA$70 per pane at the time of installation.

We didn't scratch any of it off, I promise!
@serac 😂 You are on quite an adventure!

@serac Good ole F40PH, the last truly successful EMD passenger locomotive.

20 years ago, they hauled nearly every passenger train in North America. Now, VIA is one of the last operators, and like most, replacing them with Siemens Chargers
