sur pied

March 16, 2010 / 7:20am-10:40am

16km walk from downtown Toronto to York University campus.

Except 1 & 7, photos by me.

Some of our hopes, although not expectations were:
- to strengthen (or perhaps destroy) our friendship and to learn about each other and through each other’s coping mechanisms during the arduous trek
- to reflect on what the commute means to those of us who live downtown but travel up to York on a regular basis
- Why is the commute so dreaded by all? What is it abut the York campus that makes it so cold and harsh? Is the commute to York just the same? On a concrete level, how difficult is it to get there without access to cars and/or public transit? How does it look like?
- How can we transform the commute for ourselves, and allow it to give us new perspective?
