Original Toronto Star caption: Subway passengers crowd onto the platform at the Queen St. subway during rush hour. Reader John Payne complains we need more buses and subways; they are getting too crowded. Another reader; Dale Craig; says that streetcars and buses do not wait long enough for passengers transferring from other buses at traffic lights.
