TTC app to School


Well today was the first day Yahvi, Kieran and Samatva took the TTC to school.
They wanted to go alone and Kieran has taken the bus home from school alone (), but there was a compromise and Atul went with them. He was on his way to work anyways by TTC so it didn't matter.  At least he's getting there to work on time anyways.

I've tried a few of these transit apps before.
There's also the TTC app, and for the most part it's pretty accurate.
The bus was on time as the app predicted.
The app adjusts every now and then.
I'm unsure as to how it actually does it in real time, but as long as it's accurate it'll be great on those cold freezing days when you have to stand there at the bus stop waiting for the next bus to arrive.

This way you aren't guessing as to should I stay here or run to St Clair and Runnymede to see if I can catch a bus on another bus route.

No one wants to wait or take their time these days.
It's about who gets to the next stop faster.
I'm unsure how we got this way but Sunday drivers are becoming extinct.  The Rush hour road warriors are becoming the norm.


Disconnects from nature.
24/7 connection to the grid.

How did we get here?
And is it a good thing?  I don't think so.  People have become disrespectful to each other.   Creating walls and silos with iPods and smartphones.

I'm hoping the next generation can change this behaviour so that we can all keep improving together and make this world a better place.
