The City of Toronto is considering the introduction of priority bus lanes along a corridor synonymous with frustrating delays and unreliable service.Although many TTC bus routes suffer from delays caused by rush hour gridlock, construction and inclement weather, the TTC's 29 and 929 bus routes on Dufferin Street stand out as especially problematic. The 29 route has even earned the nickname "29 Sufferin" among riders thanks to its chronic unreliability and slow service.The proposed changes that the City is considering could dramatically improve travel for the tens of thousands of daily commuters who use the bus routes on a daily basis, though."Dufferin Street is one of the busiest transit corridors in the city, with over 40,000 people riding the 29 and 929 Toronto Transit Commission buses every weekday — even more during major events," the City says.In response, Toronto and the TTC are considering the implementation of dedic...

It could be said that there are two unofficial Opening Days for Toronto Blue Jays games.Of course, there's the actual Opening Day, where Toronto plays their first home regular season game of the year, usually in March when temperatures are still hovering around zero.And then, somewhere between four and eight weeks later, there's the second, perhaps more anticipated, Opening Day, where the Rogers Centre roof is opened for the first time each season.Famously known as the world's first retractable roof on a sporting venue when it opened in 1989, the Rogers Centre's precipitation control mechanism may not be as awe-inspiring as it once was.But it's still a staple of Toronto culture, and could be making its debut this week.
