forerunner for my most irritating trait is that i was spoiled by the metro in shanghai so whenever i'm in toronto and have to take the ttc i act like an undercover prince desperately who wants to appear normal but has only ever traveled anywhere by horse-drawn carriage

#shanghai was great it was efficient it was colour coded it (mostly) didn't shriek like we were gonna wreck there were 0 rats unfortunately #once i had a full panic attack like florence pugh in midsommar levels and nobody batted an eye at me. it was CLEAN....#the ttc has the vibe that a fully grown badger is going to crawl out from under the seats and maul me #(why are there so many weird stains on the seats)#and i do say this affectionately #also the ttc at its loudest has nothing on shanghai metro line 11 #you straight up could not hear on that thing. no music no podcasts. if you want to have a convo with a friend you're better off texting #because otherwise you're shouting over the train going warp speed under xujiahui to your friend a foot away from you #the 2? also loud. my least favourite. inexplicably dingy #this is a pointless text post
