i dont mind it so much, but that's only cuz i come in before or after rush hour and leave after rush hour plus my parking is pretty cheap for downtown. but i wouldnt work 9-5 downtown...if i had to take a downtown job, i'd move downtown. i dont plan on working downtown cuz it'a a pain in the ****.

I use to work downtown, did it for 10 years. When I lived at my uncles in Scarborough, I use to drive to the subway (Kennedy station) and do that route, not knowing I could have taken the GO train, I had just moved here from Montreal. Then I lived in East York and took the subway from Woodbine, that was no fun as the subway car by that time was full. I worked at First Canadian place btw.
When I moved to Pape and Cosburn, that was the ish! I took the bus to Bayview station, hopped on the street car and that was it. Best way imo to travel, more relaxed and I was alway guaranteed a seat!
When I moved to Ajax, took the GO
No longer downtown, drive everyday to Vic park and Steeles, when I am not working at home..............................
Like I am now!
