I was late in getting home last night, like pretty much everyone else. I was one of those thousands of people that crowded Yonge and Bloor, although I wasn’t so silly as to step into the middle of the street and block traffic and shuttle buses.
Times like these, it’s good to not have tunnel vision (the irony). I was entertaining the idea of slipping back into the station, doubling back to the Spadina line via the Bloor-Danforth trains, and going north to Lawrence West station. I could then head east to Lawrence station where the subway was still operating northbound. A lot of people did wind up doing something similar, and it’s a shame that more didn’t.
I, on the other hand, took the Bloor line east instead, because east was where I needed to be anyway. I haven’t been on the Bloor line in a while, and the sad truth is I’ve been spoiled by the Yonge-University line’s speed and longer inter-station distances. I’m not sure how anyone could be spoiled by Yonge-University, but there you go.
