The 2 meg pdf takes a ridiculous amount of zoom just to find anything. GO transit on the other hand from my two rides this year is a very nice experience. Maybe once Google is finished mapping out the TTC they could teach the TTC how to clean stations, street cars, buses and subway cars. While they are at it they could also teach the TTC collectors some f***ing customer service skills. I can't understand why someone who gets paid 20 something bucks and hour can be so rude. I've never once seen a collector be polite or offer any type of customer service. I get better service from the dude at Harvey's who makes 7 bucks an hour. They should seriously contract out some of the collector booths. Then the rest of the dumb asses would realize they are doing a minimum wage job and should be happy... Opps this turned into a bit of a rant... Taking the TTC blows, the website (which uses java) sucks like a dyson. The 2 meg pdf takes a ridiculous amount of zoom just to find anything.

Google has yet to put up traffic conditions for Canadian cities, and I expect it will take them equally long to bring this feature up to Canada, too. But you never know. Google just might surprise us this time. This is AWESOME news, but I’m not holding my breath for getting Canadian transit routes put up.
