Kind of a shame that David Miller couldn't be on hand for this. It's one his greatest accomplishments and will further cement his impressive legacy.

Here is my video of the streetcar unveiling.
Notice how Ford wasn't there? I figured he'd have the nerve to show up and then say it was all because of his hard work.
However does anyone notice that they move really slow around curves (in the tunnel, and around Spadina Circle)? Maybe it's just me, but the old ones seemed faster in those areas.
I don't think you can conclude much from one ride, as different operators have different driving styles (not to mention getting used to the new cars). On the old cars, some operators fly around curves and others crawl. After 4 years of daily 510 riding I got to know who the slowpokes were.
All the drivers will be on a learning curb for sometime as they get use to having riders on the car as well dealing with traffic all the time. This includes the circle and else where.I don't think you can conclude much from one ride, as different operators have different driving styles (not to mention getting used to the new cars).

I bet that Bostonians who visit the TTC for their first time would get in so much trouble that is not their fault.
Just had to ruin the footage by adding a cheesy dance beat eh?
Some Brampton buses have those yellow strips too...of course some have stop buttons too and some have yellow pull cords too.

Did you try http://incompetech.com?Do you think there might be a reason for that? Like maybe the TTC was playing copyrighted music at the station and I had to find some way to cover it? As for the music, I get complaints when I use classical, Jazz or no music at all, so I guess that just comes with the territory.
Do you realize Youtube puts a lot of copyright restrictions on its partners? I have a very limited supply of Royalty Free music, so until I can find some new music that Youtube won't bust my **** over, people can just turn off the sound while watching my videos.
Now, any complaints about the camera work? lol
