After grabbing my Tim Hortons coffee this morning I decided to put my cuppa down for a moment. I think this photograph backs up that claim, quip, made years ago by a local journalist, from the now-gone Eye Magazine, if I remember correctly: "[The oldest TTC subway stations] look like a large latrine with no relief."
The Toronto Transit Commission has been making progress on 'reskinning' the oldest stations' walls. "Honey, those tiles have to go."
When Toronto's first subway lines were built, they went for the utilitarian look; the newest TTC subway stations are beautiful to look at.
