2. Art exhibit at King Station. Starts Saturday. For his exhibit Wednesday January 5, 2005, artist Michael Brown collected a total of 69 individual transfers on a 10-hour trip on the TTC that took him to every subway station on the system. Each transfer is accompanied by a pencil sketch of a subway rider at each station. Check it out at the Melinda Street exit.
