Stumbling through the internet, I came upon this picture and realised that he was travelling on my city system. The Toronto Transit Corporation was inaugurated in 1954 with a singular line running vertically, up and down Yonge Street. These days it remains not a very large system if one considers New York, London, or Tokyo. If it is a recent photo, he is definitely travelling on the east-west line (now called Line 2). Line 1 (travelling north and south along Yonge Street) has articulated cars, like a long snake, not separate cars as above. The difference in seating colour denotes accessibility. The blue seats are for the elderly, pregnant, or incapacitated. From the look of what is hanging so nonchalantly out of his shorts, he seems in quite good health.

I have enjoyed many a hook to take home from the subway here in nyc.
Hello MM! Interestingly, it does remain an erotic venue, undiminished by hand-held technology -- unlike the brick and mortar bar scene. One is on it just long enough to establish sympatico, and then it is pursuit -- or exit.
