Toronto Snow Storm - TTC Bus Burnout! 

if you have never experienced winter storms, then you don't understand that they can hit very hard & heavy in a very short period of time, & that deploying emergency vehicles in a city as big as toronto takes time to achieve, even in good weather; if you have experienced winter storms, then you should understand that they can hit very hard & heavy in a very short period of time, & that deploying emergency vehicles in a city as big as toronto takes time to achieve, even in good weather...

dave oh​ i live in NYC where we've had very big snowstorms and they keep retrofitted trucks with prefitted plows running even during the duration of the storm and this is a city waaaaay bigger than Toronto,so there's no excuse, you don't wait for the snow to pile up and expect traffic to just finesse its way through

Whenever the conditions are starting to get ripe for a snowstorm, even if it's very little time, the Sanitation Department gets to installing snowplows, snow tires, and chaining vehicle wheels (which I know is illegal in Canada, so not suggesting that)

Steven Ouellet yes, but... toronto is situated in this weird little pocket because of the great lakes; more often than not, a major storm will dump on barrie to the north & buffalo to the south, with just a dusting for t.o.; this isn't to imply that the city is not negligent in its services sometimes, but weather prediction has never been an exact art, so, snow happens sometimes & buses get stuck in it...

dave oh​ i think what Toronto has to do is start fixing their weather response systems because all these heavy covered roads is not ok

IT WAS AN ORION VII

No it's was an Orion v

Jarek Alexander ok boomer

+Derek Smith Might not be so bad if the driver wasn't an absolute idiot! What moron hammers the throttle in snow and waits for a miracle to happen?! Baby the throttle and you're golden.

It worked though.
