London vs. Toronto

[manny_santos]

I've now been living in Toronto for four days and I have a couple observations about Toronto as compared to London.

- Say what you want about London Transit, but overall the TTC is more expensive than London Transit, and the transfer system is very restrictive. Not only is a fare $3, but you can't get a transfer for a return trip, only to transfer to a connecting route. A one-week pass is cost-effective for a short-term visitor who uses the TTC heavily, however.

- Traffic in Toronto, in general, is more orderly than in London, and as a pedestrian I feel safer in Toronto. Toronto drivers actually stop when they're turning right at a red light. And, cyclists seem to obey traffic signals far more than in London.

Anyone else who has comparisons between the two cities?
