Location
Bus stop in a residential neighborhood in Toronto's east end.
Participants
Plans
The bus stop is on Lawson Road at Irvine Road in the Port Union area. Since it's a bus stop, what better way to get there than to take the bus. :) The 38A Highland Creek eastbound bus departs from Scarborough Centre RT station every 12 minutes, and arrives at the bus stop in about 20 minutes (schedule unavailable).
The hashpoint is closer to the west end of the stop, so get off using the rear doors for maximum efficiency.
Expedition
I was originally planning to do this expedition around 1pm today, after lunch. However, much to my surprise, I woke up at 11:30am, so 1pm would be just after breakfast. I found that too early, so I decided to push it to after lunch. The downside to doing this around 4pm though is that it's about to get dark soon, and I guess I didn't think about that...
I packed my camera, marker, transit passes and some food in my camera bag and left home at 4:20 (heh). I walked over to the bus stop, and waited for whatever the first bus was. Luckily I got 1505, one of the new buses my local transit agency just started running a few weeks ago or so, and this is my first time on one of these.
I am writing this page while on the bus, so any updates will be posted while the expedition progresses.
