I had no idea other people did this. Though my high school friends and I usually went to stations with the express purpose of collecting transfers (which would be, according to this guy, cheating), it was a pretty fun way to explore the TTC. Coolest find: the hidden apartment complex exit that gave out special Eglinton transfers that said “Eglinton Heights” on them. We snatched up a bunch of transfers, but if you remember the old machines, they were noisy, mechanical buggers. The TTC guy heard us and deduced correctly that all was not as it should be. He probably couldn’t figure out why we’d want a stack of transfers from a remote part of the station, but he made us toss most of them into the garbage anyways.

I think my stack of transfers is still around here somewhere. I don’t remember if I ever got Downsview, though.
