Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: It's standing room only at parking lot this morning at Front and George Sts. as commuters filled every available parking space there. Lots were jammed and drivers parked on side streets as shutdown public transit system forced workers to scrounge other ways of getting downtown. Many formed car pools; others stood out street corners hitching rides and still others pedalled on their bicycles.
