• 08:40:00: Currently trying to comprehend Rob Ford's transportation "plan". Promise myself I will ignore outright ALL subjective opinion in it. #voteTO
  
• 08:45:13: First @RobFordTeam transport plan lie: "streetcar lines ... cause pollution". Streetcar holds 4 buses of ppl, or 40 cars of ppl. Imagine it.
  
• 08:48:10: 2nd @RobFordTeam transport lie: "12km of new [subway]... cost $3B" 12 km = ~$3.6B, and doesn't include the cost of the 10 stations he cites.
  
• 08:48:41: Damn I wish I had more chars to work with. Can't fit #voteTO on my @RobFordTeam tweets.
  
• 08:49:58: 3rd @RobFordTeam transport lie: "[subway to STC] will run on the elevated SRT platform" Literally impossible. Vetted long ago. #TTC #voteTO
  
• 08:53:17: 4th @RobFordTeam transport lie: "[new/clean buses for DT] zero net cost" $700k buses, need 4x as many, offset by selling old ones? #voteTO
  
• 08:53:41: I haven't even *scrolled* in the Ford transport "plan" yet, and I'm sick of it. #voteTO
  
• 08:58:37: Possible @RobFordTeam lie - I don't have the data - is $1B of subway corridor dev rights. How much corridor is available? $1B worth? #voteTO
  
• 09:00:44: Why harp on lies? @RobFordTeam lied outright many times so far: arrests, bike lanes, transit funding. I don't want a lying mayor. #voteTO
