I was surprised recently when I used one of the automated kiosks to add funds to my presto card that it spit out a receipt showing that my card was in overdraft and it charged me an overdraft fee of .25? Why exactly can the card be overdraft to begin with? I just use it for the TTC?! How much is...

There was a Lincoln back years ago that essentially had this. Im not sure whether it was infrared or some type of night vision, but it indicated on a HUD if you were about to make venison. Also, adding deer whistles and what not to your vehicle has been around for along time. Although, i've...

I dont believe such a thread has been created to date, so forgive me if this is a duplicate. I came across this discussion paper that was prepared by David Ticoll (Munk-U of T) which is an interesting analysis of the potential impacts and outcomes of automated vehicle technology on Toronto's...

Discussing Toronto's approach to the introduction and integration of self driving vehicle technologies.

I find it cheaper than renting a car, considering gas and insurance are inclusive, especially for longer distances. Also, youre paying for the convenience. Autoshare does a good job keeping a variety of vehicles (anything from a BMW X1 to a Fiat 500) and replacing vehicles regularly. I put a...

Amended above as requested

They are going to add another story to each of the residential towers. As per the CoT Committee of Adj. website: To alter the existing development plan approved under Site Specific By-law 1649-2012 by increasing the building height one-storey on each residential tower (Tower 2 and Tower 3)...

Add a separate lane for tandem bikes
