I’m very curious about why the 3rd option for getting to Union had you go all the way down Bloor on Line 2 to Bloor/Dundas West and then taking the GO or UPX to Union. Seems a bit circuitous when a transfer to Line 1 at Yonge would surely be quicker. Was Line 1 down?
Good question! I was walking down O'Connor Street while writing, so I didn't stop to critically evaluate the options presented. It is a bit weird, now that I look at it. Currently Google Maps estimates 39 minutes from bus to Line 2 to Line 1. *If* the bus trip works out (as an East Toronto resident, I'm not confident in that happening consistently), that's not too bad admittedly. Still 17 minutes longer than current drive time, though, and we're at the tail end of rush hour.
