The TTC is a piece of shit

I hate the TTC. I left home on course to catch the 10 am 105 bus from Downsview station. Things were looking good all the way up, with 5 minutes left at the entrance to the station (the train goes from being above ground to being underground about 500 metres from the actual stop)....then....the train stopped, and stood there...moved a bit, stopped again. This lasted exactly 5 minutes. I ran out of the train and to the bus platforms at 10:00:36, and both buses I could have taken (105 or 117) were gone, and the next one would only be in 20 minutes!!!!!!! I was fuming, and kicking things, and I spent the next 20 minutes cursing how stupid the TTC is, especially the design of the station which doesn't allow trains to bypass each other easily. Trains waiting to get into the station ahve to wait for the trains inside to get out. There is no extra rail at the end or anything to make this smoother and more efficient. The engineer who designed that stop was wrong!!

argh...the stupid TTC wasted 30 minutes of my life, and that's a lot when you have a masters to finish. Why did it have to rain today? My bike would have been much faster.
