I was blown away when I walked out of the office to front and bay. The entire intersection was a sea of people. It was like a documentary shot of some city in china or something. The roads were totally corked by a critical mass of drivers so I was lanesplitting and clipping every few cars with the fender strapped to my bag. OOPS! I also saw jeremy/darkmother tearing along bloor street going west so he is still alive and well.
This situation shows how when you get rid of the subway, the city basically shuts down, so if you improved subway service, the city would actually run properly.
It was the same sort of thing during the big blackout of.....2004? Or was it 2005? I was cycling north on Bay and BOOM!, everyone left their office buildings all at once! It was nuts and I had no idea what was going on, people just kept coming and coming and coming, blocking the sidewalks and spilling over out onto the streets. Traffic was nuts and there were no traffic lights, so it was just as messed up as it could possibly be, thank god I was cycling, no one was getting anywhere. Much like how it was today, I guess. At least the cab drivers made some cashola.
