finch station ttc parking lot time lapse

[ibanker]

if anyone takes the ttc or drives to a ttc parking lot .... heres a video of how fast the lot fills up in the morning and how many people there are....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALL1MmO-IE8

this was taken at around 7 am and the actual time of the video is about an hour and 40 minutes...


reminds me of tetris

[danns]

Cool video, know what day this was taken? I might find my car from there.

And dayum, even with the large space theres almost no spot to park if you come late.

[SirAlain]

Very nice! 5 stars!

The cars look like bugs & the people look like ants.

*shudder*

[ibanker]

this was taken on the morning of tue. may 20, 2008..... battery died before lot was totally full.... notice people prefer to face out and walk more rather then reverse in and park closer.... some of those handicap spot people arent even handicap



i couldnt imagine parking at the end..... thats a good 2 football fields of walking distance....

[Asmegin]

Wow the guy at 30 seconds in the truck/van is a horrible parker! Someone tried to park beside him but couldn't fit! :lol:

[KorruptioN]

Solid vid. I would suggest putting in the fact that you started rolling at around 7am.

[cwb27]

Real good video but a time stamp would be nice.

[The_Professor]

Cool vid, thanks. The people look like ants in a colony.

[Odysseus_Maximus]

cool vid

[bujanx]

Why is no one parking in the spaces in the lower left? Are they handicap or reserved?

I think they are.

LOL. I noticed that too. He was totally crooked. The dark colored car that tried to fit beside him and then left probably left him a nice mark down the side of his vehicle for the trouble.

I also noticed a lot of people pull back/forth into the spot 3, 4, or even 5 times. Are drivers truely that bad???

Good to see such big park/ride lots. Edmonton is building LRT extensions with NO park and ride at the new sites, rediculous lack of planning.

[board123]

I noticed that too. He took up two slots and one guy who tried to park next to him had to back out because it was such a tight fit.

I know that the spots at Warden station in Toronto are extremely thin compared to regular spots at a shopping centre. Perhaps Finch is the same way.

Chances are if your taking TTC you are used to walking :cheesygri

[CanadaBoy]

Very cool video. I hope you make more!

[tebore]

All I notice is goddamn there's a lot of crappy drivers out there. Thank god they are taking the TTC. Backing in and out 4-5 times to park and only a handful of people were willing to back in.

And That guy who parked really crooked is a huge jackass, it's a huge SUV and it's crooked.

[7Stryder7]

awesome video

[goob3r]

great video!

[bobbings]

Anyone read the comments section? Someone mentioned urbanpoet and TTC tokens.

[Newt]

lmao!!! Hilarious.. watch at 32 seconds as the SUV parks crooked and blocks a spot, and then somebody tries to park in it, but gives up.. As soon as he leaves, another car takes the crappy spot and the whole lane ends up parking crooked.. hahahaha

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

in all seriousness, this is a sick video, I love it, 5/5

[AcidBomber]

wow haha, cool video!
i assume you live in Pemberton Dr or something? =s
:razz:

[KorruptioN]

:razz:

Looks more like Bishop Avenue.

[Sprite_TM]

that is soo cool lol. i wish the resolution was better

[mrlooneytoon]

Hell I don't care if people take 100 tries to park as long as they don't park like the dude in the truck at 30s!

[kekekekyle]

i was hoping to see a normal distribution

[ephemera]

lol at that guy double parking his 'BOAT'

It would be an interesting comparison if you took another video during a winter storm where you can't really make out the parking spaces.

[seekay]

sweet video...good work!

[ben_liu]

The last like 20 seconds is funny.

[goneinsixtyseconds]

it'd be extra cool if you could sync the time with the sped up vid :)

[ibanker]

whos the urban poet hater?? lol

feel free to post the link to the vid in any other forums you guys go on........

[Lava]

Cool :)

The video starts getting busy at around 1:40 :)

[MrWizard]

Pretty crazy how busy it starts getting at around the 1:45 mark....

[flygo]

it'd be cool if you could somehow include the lineup outside the parking lot too...it gets huge around 7:30-7:40 ish!

[Roseburger]

cool video... why did the time frame get blurred out

[CanadaBoy]

[v_tofu]

YOU MADE IT ON LIVELEAK!

"I saw Urbanpoet offering to blow guys at Finch for a ttc token lol "

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

YOU MADE IT ON LIVELEAK!


http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bfd_1227174567

woot, and thx for not creating a new thread and actually using the search function to find this good old thread!

[Jin-n-Juice]

Just noticed a car parked on the street... Cars allowed to park there??

[ruhroh]

Why do I find sped up videos funny?? Only thing that would make it better is Benny Hill music.

That jerk SUVer is hilarious, and the way the first guy tries to back in, changes his mind and goes somewhere else :lol:

[ibanker]

that basturd stole my video and posted it claiming its his own. i feel like my copy right has been infringed.

now i know what studios feel like when people download their movies. i really feel violated.

can i sue this guy?

[ruhroh]

Well he's not making any money on it is he?

I don't think liveleak cares about that sort of stuff. Even youtube doesn't really care unless you're the owner (so others can't report it, at least I haven't been able to get one down and some of the original owners just give up reporting billions of violations) =\ I've seen one famous video on youtube get a few million views, then a million people post it under different titles... on youtube.

Put THE ORIGINAL in your title or something, I guess. Not much you can really do about other people swiping it :(

And next time put your username in the corner or watermark it. If you don't some other site (or many other sites) is going to.

[KorruptioN]

You can probably report the video to the site - claim infringement. Youtube offers a similar feature.

[Eyies]

Nice concept, cool video. :cheesygri

[sfx]

Awesome video, thanks for posting it. You should redo it with a timestamp.

It sucks walking to/from your car in the middle of winter when you're at the far end. :)

Anyone know the capacity of that lot?

[ktan09]

That doesn't look like Finch, why are the cars coming from the top? Both gates at Finch are near the subway station entrance, not on the other side.

No you have access from Willowdale Ave as well.

The street in the video is Bishop Ave, and the camera direction is pointing North East i believe.
