King Streetcar, heading east, just before 9 AM today.
The streetcar is packed - of course - it being rush hour.
Heading east from King, one of the first major stops is at Church. Also home to St. James Cathedral.
"Church Street," says the streetcar driver. "And if you're getting off here, bless you."
Two stops later, we hit Jarvis.
"Jarvis," says the streetcar driver. "Home of George Brown College." He then goes on to make an inspiring quote about studying hard, and points out that this will allow them to get jobs, pay into CPP ... thereby making them his (the driver's) future. He also points out that if they don't study hard and do well, they could end up with a less rosy future -- working for the TTC! :)
Two stops later, we're at Sherbourne and the one after that is Ontario.
"Ontario Street," says the driver. "Creators of the Sunshine Girl and the Sunshine Boy ..."
Making the TTC a better place to be ...

Commenting on my own stuff already! Yikes ...
That being said, I happened to get the same driver on my way home. I made a point of telling him how much I had enjoyed his subjective tour of Toronto that morning, and commented that he worked long hours.
He thanked me for my comments, although he did say that perhaps I led a less than exciting life. LOL
