Here's how the TTC plans to keep the city moving during Taylor Swift's Toronto stay

[canada-man]

The TTC is sharing details about how it plans to cope with the massive influx of Taylor Swift fans into Toronto’s core during the superstar’s six-show stay in the city.

“We have been speaking to other transit agencies to learn from their experiences, and we are ready to make all the concert goers' experiences as smooth as possible,” TTC CEO Greg Percy said in a statement. “Our experience with playoff sports, New Year’s Eve, and other large-scale events gives me confidence that we are ready for the Eras Tour shows.”

Swift is bringing The Era’s Tour to the Rogers Centre Nov. 14-23.

Some 60,000 fans are expected to attend each show and thousands are expected to take part in Taylgate'24 – a pre-concert event at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Overlapping events at Scotiabank Arena are also expected to add another 10,000 – 20,000 people to the area every night as well.

Yawn.

I don't think that they have to do anything different to ensure that traffic doesn't get any worse. It's so bad already, how could anything make it worse.

Agreed, like the old man in Life of Brian said, "how can it get any worse, Jehovah, Jehovah"

Taylor Swift's effect on our city:

I think Hotel accommodations is going to be a bit more concerning. I'm assuming that if you haven't booked a room by now, you better be sharing a spot with the homeless people downtown or sleep at the airport if you're flying back.

It's going to be pretty quiet for some downtown independent LL service providers when they're not able to book a room.

Hotel rooms downtown are going for $1,000 + a night.

This has led to increased demand and increased prices at Airport Hotels; and Hotels near GO Train Stations within 30 minutes of Union Station (Oakville GO, Bronte GO) as it's significantly cheaper to book a Hotel and take the GO Train in and out of downtown. I hope GO is planning to add extra capacity for those nights and/or express trains.

Probably a good idea to either get out of the City those two weekends; or plan to stay at Home.

I cannot fathom what people see in her. Taylor Swift is the epitome of mediocrity.

She's really not a great singer at all, but it goes to show how the media hype machine works and how it can influence people.
If you go on tiktok or youtube and do a search for "Taylor Swift symbolism, music videos, concerts" she's got some real evil shit going on, but she's a "Christian". The entertainment industry is just evil af.

She's got boredom going for her. I'll give her that.

I'm guessing that the overweight, balding middle-aged guys in this thread listen to Sabrina Carpenter or Lana Del Ray when they need a hit of girlie music to dance to in front of the full length mirror in their bedrooms.

You waited a long time for this moment didn't you?

But you're wrong on all fronts and to add to that, Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa are nowhere near as boring and they both can sing.

I've met a lot of early 20's SBs and they love Lana Del Ray. And TBH, it is almost impossible to dance to her music.
