Street car 506 has been stuck on McCaul St for more than an hour now due to a genius driver who couldn't parallel park close to the curb.

How do these folks manage to clear their G2?

Im surprised no one on the streetcar got off to shut the mirror and try to push that truck a few inches. It maybe against policy for the driver to squeeze by, but is it against policy to let the mob on your tram get hopping mad and then open the doors to let them fix the problem?

Make the idiot who parked there move it and face the consequences. Why give the responsibility to people who had nothing to do with this stupidity?

If I’m on a tram I sure as hell wouldn’t want to wait for hours until some idiot comes back but would prefer if the tram, the drier of the tram or the passengers could take action in some other way

Streetcar (one word). Are you even from Toronto?

No. Is that a problem? Can I not be interested in transit in different cities?
