Welcome to my channel! I'm a Torontonian born and raised that's a transit, urban planning, filming and elevator enthusiast, plus I share my passion for them! I have been into these hobbies since I was very little and I enjoy doing what I love to do. I film public transit in Toronto (e.g full length bus rides, subway compilations, short streetcar rides), mostly old elevators or some modern ones that stand out to me and walking videos all around the city plus other random things that may tickle your fancy, like me applying my knowledge of urban planning in my videos. Thanks for your support and hope you enjoy the videos!

Toronto TTC 509 Harbourfront Streetcar Ride After Honda Indy 7/21/2024

Full ride eastbound from Exhibition to Union station. The streetcar was very busy as I was part of the large crowd from Honda Indy. The whole ride without the cuts took 27 minutes so I edited 14 minute of waiting at stops and traffic lights.

Hey Alex how have you been? Nice catch at Bessarion one of Toronto’s least busiest subway stops

I literally live at 551 the west mall
Awesome ride!
Thanks!
@@AlexGetsAroundTO Your welcome!
I took that streetcar only one stop yesterday there and back to meet you guys. I had a great time yesterday.
Yeah me too man
Thank you so much for this video of my neighbourhood when I lived in Toronto!
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of those special videos from you that really stands out above other "Tubers". You can't go wrong when you get to see a really great neighborhood, and hear all about what's going on with you. One of your best recently.
Appreciate it!
Hey Alex i honestly love this city but I complain about all the dam construction i just wish that line 5 would open soon.

I watched Transmania Ontario since 2014.
Loved your video, Alex! It brought back memories of my old photos from Sherway Gardens over 10 years ago - the bay looks just as beautiful as I remembered, and the elevator looks like it's retained some of its classic charm!
It still does!
Ive been to this store before and used that elevator it used to be so old
Great work, Alex. Hope you're well. I miss Toronto. Watching your videos is satisfying.
@@LarryFrancona Thanks I appreciate it
Something that confuses me is that the TTC had the balls to put the OG Diesels on the 55 but not the 30,66,77 and 189
I know it’s weird, maybe it’s because they previously interlined the 26/55, also on the four routes you mentioned they probably dispatched an OG at least once a month
@@AlexGetsAroundTO oh
Oh
Can you do arraving at Sheppard younge station in line 4

Thanks so much!
@@AlexGetsAroundTO You’re welcome!
Wow, Alex! I've been eagerly awaiting this video, and it did NOT disappoint! Your final ride on the retired OG diesel was a fantastic way to bid farewell - I loved how the colours in the sky complemented the scenery, and your filming style always draws me in. The thumbnail image was absolutely gorgeous, with a stunning composition that really caught my eye! I remembered you mentioning in the comments of one of my videos that the unit number was 8030 - could you confirm if that's indeed the correct unit number? Thanks so much for sharing this amazing experience with us, and I'm looking forward to your next video!
Thanks and yes it was 8030.

4:38 I agree. They haven't even got rebuilt
Omg somehow I had a feeling you would give me a shoutout in this video AND YOU DID! Thanks. I'm a psychic. I had it several times in Miami and New York City. Also, almost a year ago today, I had one at Little Havana Cafe y Bodega I think on Jane and Ardagh Street.
How was the coffee there?
@@AlexGetsAroundTO It was great
@@nickysexperience004 There’s an idea, I’ll have to try it out sometime
Oh sorry to hear about your phone storage. That's why I use Google Photos for backup just in case you have to delete them. It happened to me in New York City and ruined my walking video. That's one of the disadvantages of filming with a phone. Luckily, it's never permanent even though it feels like it gets worse and worse every time it happens.
It happened to me twice this morning doing that!
I rode line 2 from ossington to runnymede
I was on the TTC Subway once over a decade ago. Also, that is a pretty unique station i must say.

If movie producers ever need suspenseful music, they should just film a ride on this elevator going up! ! LOL!
Do you like the OG Hybrids better in the current livery or the old livery?
Current livery
@@AlexGetsAroundTO I liked them better in the Old livery. It's pretty cool how the OG Diesels ( 7900-8099 more specifically) were the last buses to retire without a single one being repainted ( with the exception of 8000-8011)
I know I don't live in Hamilton, but can you try to go to Hamilton and catch some D40LFs?
