We had a pretty good first day on the bus. Nice guides, helpful.
We eventually began to wonder about the maintenance/age of many of the buses.
As we were going up to Casa Loma the bus we were on was full and apparently was too old to handle the combined amount of people and slight incline at the traffic light on Spadina & MacPherson. It stalled for quite a while, causing a traffic back up. The driver eventually backed down the street some & made a rather awkward U-turn.
Day two ~ we decided to actually go to Casa Loma so we got on a bus down at Union Station. We were told that it would be about 45 minutes to get to the Casa Loma stop. Well over an hour later, we are stopped at Bloor and Spadina. This bus has a radiator leak! Our tour guide rambled on for quite a while before letting us know what was going on ~ why we had been sitting there not moving. We waited in the hot sun for a good 30 minutes before another bus came by & picked us up. It was a new bus so that was good, for our short hop up the hill. When we got back to the stop to head downtown the bus we got on was OLD. Duct tape on the flooring, pretty ratty seats....
Not sure I'd recommend this....!
