 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com Today I will have another episode of life in Toronto in COVID-19 shutdown video and I'm taking you to the heart of downtown Toronto using public transit The first public transit I'll be using is the streetcar and we'll take a streetcar in front of my condo to Union Station so I'm boarding the streetcar right now and you'll see that inside the streetcar it's totally empty there's not many people, probably one or two people I saw and it's hard to see a streetcar, especially a Toronto streetcar this is kind of empty If you look on the street and at the gas station you'll see that not many people and the cars on the street not many cars but this time on Saturday usually there's a lot of traffic and a lot of people on the street but today you can see that it's very empty and at the harbor front not many people are jogging or walking around but this time usually this place is really crowded and lots of tourists and other people hang around at this area It's a beautiful sunny day the cold or the temperature is not too cold it's around minus 2, minus 3 in that range which is a very good weather for Torontonians but still you can see that not many people are coming out to enjoy the sun and the weather so right now I just hit Union Station and this is not the Union Station you have seen or this is not the Union Station I have seen any time before so you can see that it's totally empty it looks like a ghost station there's no people I think the gentleman in front of him is the only people I saw and this is really scary that there's no one at Union Station which is the station hub of Toronto here you can take many various trains to different locations different regions so the hub of Toronto is empty so we're boarding on a train and you can see that the subway is empty as well there's no people and all the seats are empty no one is standing, no one is sitting once in a while you come across one or two people so this is not what Toronto looks like or what a subway looks like this time so I'm going to be getting off at Queen Station and then from there I'll go up to the heart of downtown Toronto and we'll head towards Dundas Square which usually is very busy all the time that's where you'll see lots of Torontonians and people hanging out or having street food or shopping, walking so we'll see how Dundas Square looks like today as you can see that I'm getting out of the Queen Station and then there's no one here and it's really empty so most of you probably haven't seen Queen Street Station this way before so the whole concourse level is empty there's no one here the stores are closed and I haven't seen, I don't see any other person except one or couple of other people so we're going to get off this building and then we'll be in the middle of downtown Toronto let's see how it looks like today at this time so this is the heart of downtown Toronto and it's around about 2-3 o'clock and you can see that the streets are very empty the roads are empty this place is crowded at this time or any time you come here even if you come here at 2-3 o'clock at night it's crowded, lots of people on the street but as you can see that today there's no people, no cars the cars you're seeing once in a while that's nothing compared to what it would have been if there's no COVID-19 or there's no fear of catching something from the environment so I'm just walking towards downtown the square and if you notice on the left or right you'll see that all the stores are empty and the street is empty so this is not the usual picture of downtown Toronto especially this is the heart of downtown Toronto and after a few minutes I'll be hitting the downtown square and then we'll see how things are there so here I'm showing you some of the stores especially big stores on the left and on the right and you can see that all the stores are empty some people are walking on the street but not a lot of people so I'm passing Burger King McDonald's Tim Hortons the Tim Hortons I saw in downtown actually it was closed but some Tim Hortons are open and some of them are closed but those restaurants are in coffee shops or cafes which are open you cannot sit there you have to just grab your coffee or your food and you have to leave so it's just take out our delivery so you're not allowed to sit anywhere and even if you wanted to sit you couldn't sit because they flipped all the chairs and tables so no one can sit so I just reached the downtown square and you can see that this is really empty there is no one here you might ask why it's empty because you can see some people's parts but if you compare this to any regular day or average day this is not what it looks like this place is so crowded it's so noisy because people are talking having fun, eating out shopping but comparing every day every other day what I'm seeing today is hard to believe just kind of believe that this is the in the middle of downtown Toronto in the heart of downtown Toronto this is what it looks like right now so basically it's very empty it's scary that no one is here Father, we don't know all the reasons why things happen the way they do but we pray however I found some people who are preaching religion and you can hear them I guess they are just like you know everyone is talking about this COVID-19 and some people are just using to attract more people towards religion and the news media and other news channels have something to talk about 24 hours because of the outbreak thank you for watching this video forget about subscribing to this channel forget about liking this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you
