It's been awhile since I have boarded a TTC bus at Finch Avenue and Weston Road, but this is where I met one of the best bus drivers that I have ever come across.
Many Torontonians will jump at the chance to complain about the TTC and it's employees, but I have nothing but praise for this particular bus driver. He wowed me with his level of professionalism from the moment I stepped onto the bus. Not only that, but he groomed himself very well and he created an aura that would welcome passengers onto the bus. Simply put, he was the poster child of the ideal TTC driver.
I'm quite new to Toronto and I am not extremely familiar with various TTC routes around the city, so I guess I wore a very confused look on my face as I approached his bus. The bus driver looked at me and asked, “Where exactly are you going? I noticed you’re a little bit undecided whether or not to ride this bus.”, to which I replied, “Scarborough, Duncan Mills to be specific,”. “In that case you can ride with me to York Mills Station and from there you will join another bus to your final destination.”, he advised. While he sat there, waiting for a couple of minutes to leave, he struck up a conversation with me where we discussed a couple world affairs, social issues, sports, and even my past on how I found myself in Toronto.
As the bus departed the station, I took my seat and I began to think that this bus driver was quite the rare gem. I watched him as he would smile and greet commuters as they entered and exited the vehicle. His smile was so infectious that some passengers acknowledged and commended it. I even heard one elderly lady say “You make my day, driver!”, as he lowered the bus so she could get off at her stop with ease.
As we pulled into York Mills Station, he made sure to point me into the right direction. From here, I knew exactly which bus I would have to take in order to get to my final destination and I was very thankful. As I turned around to wave goodbye, he sent me off by saying, “Have a great day and you be careful!”.
I know that I was doing something quite mundane and routine, but I really began to ponder what a difference quality customer service makes to a business, be it private, public or charity. This bus driver emulated a positive customer service experience and he truly makes me look at the TTC in a different light. This just goes to show how far a little kindness can go to make a customer’s day and leave a lasting impression.

The main advantage of this layout is that adding a new node is O(1). 2018-02-10: So the timeline is full of individual’s HomePod reviews. http://094658.store/r1/25.xml This can either be done directly with subjective testing (human participants assessing and providing feedback for a series of drone noise samples) or through the use of so-called psycho-acoustic metrics which are widely adopted in the automotive industry.

This study showed that 34% of physician respondents felt more comfortable with intelligent design than evolution. Stories are framed around real people and their lives and are important because they’re accounts of specific events, not general statements. API. This is obviously not true for every gem from the Rails eco system. http://link.ac/5LEm10 Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured.

Term rewriting is a very general framework for building sets of transformations over symbols and their synthesis. The iterative, non-linear nature of design thinking means you and your design team can carry these stages out simultaneously, repeat them and even circle back to previous stages at any point in the design thinking process. By creating a textured visual line away from your garden's focal point, with the coarsest plants nearest the center and fine-textured plants farthest away, you can create a false impression of distance. http://tinyurl.com/2krj2gce For this reason, creationists have largely abandoned the argument of irreducible complexity of the eye, retreating to more obscure examples such as the bacterial flagellum.

This creates a perpetual loop, in which the designers continue to gain new insights, develop new ways to view the product (or service) and its possible uses and develop a far more profound understanding of their real users and the problems they face. It is assumed that they had shrines at the top, but there is no archaeological evidence for this and the only textual evidence is from Herodotus. http://link.ac/5LEp2 Note that there’s a button next to the media controls that lets you flip the wheel between controlling your PC’s volume and raising or lowering the level of lighting of the keyboard itself.

On the money side, it makes perfect sense. Deferring to his former commander, Bumblebee became more concerned with Optimus' well-being and leadership than trusting in his own previous experiences. http://tinyurl.com/2krj2gce This goes beyond just one city, too.

In 1871, a group of Japanese politicians known as the Iwakura Mission toured Europe and the United States to learn western ways. But I think it is still useful to retroactively log data in the hopes that you can later make sense of it. http://tinyurl.com/2q3n7955 In July 2016, less than a year before his death, the United Nations bestowed an award for City Design & Community.
