TTC Glasses from 1978

11/18/08 | by Jamie | Categories: Trains

Going shopping to Goodwill isn't really one of my favourite ways to spend a Sunday afternoon, but sometimes it can pay off. This weekend I discovered these neat TTC glasses from 1978. One shows a subway and PPC streetcar, and the other a deisel bus and an electric trolley bus. Kind of makes me wonder what other neat merchandise the TTC has put out over the years. These glasses certain beat anything sold at that crappy "Transit Stuff" store at Union station.

Hughwow you still get pimp my ride requests?? What is goin' on with that?

Anyways did you rob my dad's glass collection? We have those exact same glasses! Used throughout my childhood.

JamieI think every time Pimp My Ride airs somewhere in the world, some moron Google's "pimp my ride" and somehow winds up here. I don't even think they still make that show.

As for the glasses, maybe your mom donated them to Goodwill. I figured they were probably something given to TTC workers back in the day.
