The longest stretch of tunnel on the Yonge line is between Eglinton and Lawrence stations. That’s a fact.
If you stand right at the front of the car, right by the driver’s cabin, you are rarely pushed or shoved. I’ve been standing there for 4 years now when I go to work because it allows me to jigger with my iPhone in peace. That’s a fact.
It’s breezy there, so you can’t smell your fellow passengers. That’s a fact.
Three times in the past month, I’ve smelled smoke as soon as we’ve left Eglinton station. And it’s sustained until Lawrence station, where I get off. And not because someone new has moved near me and I can smell residual smoke, either. After Eglinton, the subway car usually empties out. I’ve been an avid non-smoker all my life and I notice even a small waft of smoke. It grosses me out. That’s a fact!
So with these facts, I am convinced that the driver is having a smoke break as he drives.

At least it was coming from the driver and not from the train itself, right?
DR is now MW (Mr. Wilson)… Hee hee.
Come to think of it, just after that I lived at Yorkmills and Bayview and worked at Royal Bank Plaza – so Yorkmills to Union Station and back – I so HATE the TEET!!
I used to work at Sherway Gardens and took the teet from Chester Station to Islington every friggin’ mornin’ – and then a 5-10 minute bus ride – but then A&A Records and Tapes went tits-up – or that franchise did.
Sean: I knew someone was going to dispute that. I use to work at Yorkdale mall, I know that long strip.
photog: I started to write something and I came across as an old coot with a chip on my shoulder and you kids get off my lawn, with your gyrating hips and your Facebooks!
Curses!!
I’ll get you! *shakes fist uselessly in the air*
I have the TTC complaint link bookmarked, file a complaint! The last complaint I filed was about a collector that would not accept pennies (and not a whole bunch of them, only 5 cents worth).
“on the Yonge line”
Fact Reader!! Nyah!
I question your ‘facts’ – clearly the longest distance between subway stops is between St. Clair West and Eglinton West…
FACT CHECKER!
