You mean streetcars can't just easily weave their way in and out of traffic bypassing obstacles? How odd! I agree that it's confusing and goofy. I take the streetcar from King/Church to the Beaches and, man, what a crazy route! It makes no sense. Note that the crazy-ass contruction is not ROAD construction, but STREETCAR TRACK contruction. I smiled when I saw a Broadview BUS on King Street, whipping by all the delayed diverting streetcars, making its way to the Queen bridge. Last week, a Queen BUS picked me up at Broadview and I got to the Beaches in record time - and so did the traffic around us because they didn't have to stop at every streetcar stop. They simply passed the bus in the passing lane - which is, go figure, WHAT IT'S FOR. Burn all streetcars. What?

Last week, a Queen BUS picked me up at Broadview and I got to the Beaches in record time – and so did the traffic around us because they didn't have to stop at every streetcar stop. They simply passed the bus in the passing lane – which is, go figure, WHAT IT'S FOR.

Burn all streetcars.
