Public Transit is Important

Posted by: Ahmed Farooq In: Other

Was just checking out what was in the system and I stumbled across this - subway stations. See how each stands up. I did put the query in quotes because of the Subway chain.

Google - horrendous results. One link to TTC, the rest leave much to be desired.

Yahoo - doesn’t know what Toronto, Canada is. So I guess the one and only time it shows up here.

Toronto.com - spas, restaurants, studio, learning centres. At least Google had a link to some TTC page.

RedTO - the search with quotes failed, so I tried without. The first result was Union Station, but after that it seemed like Toronto.com all over again.

iBegin Toronto - [b]bam[/b]! Just what you were looking for.

[b]Lesson #2:[/b] Not everything important in a city is listed in the Yellow Pages.
