The Toronto Traveler

A few days ago, I wrote a post that talked about how Toronto subway stations have distinctive tiling and how that tiling had been captured by a set of buttons that were now on sale.  While that post was originally just going to be a stand alone post in and of itself, it actually planted a few seeds of thought in my head.  Seeds of thought are dangerous things for bloggers because they can lead to crazy ideas for posts and in this particular case that’s exactly what’s happened!

So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce Subway Sundays, the newest series of posts that will be debuting with this post on The Toronto Traveler.  As the name implies, this series will be a weekly segment on the blog with one post a week discussing information, news, events and other useful information for travelers to know regarding the Toronto Transit Commission, the organization that is responsible amongst other things for the maintenance and extension of Toronto’s subway system.

Toronto, like many of the best tourism destinations around the world, is a city that could not exist without its subway system.  Some might say that statement is a bit of a stretch, but when you consider how many tourist attractions are near subway stations and then add to that the fact that so many different riders take transit to work every single day, I think that for practical purposes that statement is a truism.  And since I’m supposed to be blogging about things that are important for travel and tourism as well as important for Toronto, this seems like a pretty good idea.

Also, I’m trying to get myself back to a time when I was posting regularly (i.e. once or twice each day as opposed to lengths of silence and then a flurry of posts over 2-3 days) because not only did that help me keep the material fresh and on-going, I know anecdotally that it helped many of my readers as well.  I’ve found that series (such as my Hogtown Halloween series) are easy to do on a consistent basis and am hoping that Subway Sundays will get the posting on The Toronto Traveler back to where it was in 2007.

So sit back, relax and tune in next Sunday for the first non-intro post to Subway Sundays and prepare to learn far more information than you ever knew existed regarding Toronto’s transit system!
