It depends on your geography I don't get to downtown Toronto very often any more. Unless I'm attending an event, like a concert or a show, it's just not a place I enjoy visiting. The prime reason is the traffic. I do drop off or pick up family mem- bers at Pearson Airport from time to time, and have no problem doing that. But I find it's best to be driving to the airport before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m., for a tiny bit of traffic relief. Downtown Toronto is different. Every time I venture to Toronto by car, I find myself sitting still, waiting for someone in front of me to move for- ward at a snail's pace. It's tiring, frustrat- ing and from an environmental point of view, a disaster. So for the most part, I take the GO train, or stay home. There are times when I wonder if I'm being a bit stubborn, but this past weekend reminded me that my per- sonal feelings about traffic are justified. Councillor Dave Kentner and I at- tended the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference in Edmonton, Alberta. We flew out Thurs- day morning and I returned home Monday night. During that weekend, Dave and I found ourselves taking more cab rides in five days than I personally have in the past five years. Being chatty people, we talked to our drivers, between destina- tions. I found it interesting how the cab drivers felt about their city, the traffic, and all sorts of things around Edmon- ton, usually comparing it to Toronto. The one thing every driver apolo- gized about was the traffic. I came to realize that the definition of 'rush hour traffic' depends entirely upon your ge- ography. "I'm so sorry-- it's rush hour, and the traffic is bad," they'd apologize. "You call this rush hour?" Dave would respond, "This is nothing com- pared to Toronto's rush hour!" I had to agree-- these cabbies were driving in the traffic equivalent of lin- ing up at the left turn lane into the Mc- Donald's 'drive thru' on Guelph Street, as commuters were after their 'regular double-double'. Or maybe the intersec- tion of Main and Mill in Acton, when two gravel trucks meet at the traffic lights. Edmonton cab drivers didn't have to wait for more than one change of lights to clear an intersection.
