toronto? people just stand wherever on the street corner, and when the streetcar arrives - watch out! every man, woman, and child for him or herself. i think the first time i saw it happen, i just stood there stunned.
oh. and streetcar drivers? wait for NO ONE. it keeps them efficient, but man, it bites when you're late for work.

How weird there was such a difference between the two places.
I'm not sure we really form orderly lines for buses, but BART is different.
That does bite. The worst thing is when you rush to your stop, just to see the train/bus pulling away....
