This popped into my feed as well:

While the technique was interesting and the video very 'professional', I really do not like spray-painted public (or private) property. Clearly the TTC needs more cameras!

Good video on broken windows theory about the DLR (London) by Jago Hazzard.

Seriously though? Even then..........

I could get the 'hostess' idea, sort of..........bit of a stretch........but not in that outfit............ clearly that doesn't work without roller skates!

There's an old BlogTO piece on it here:

That time the TTC lured customers with a bunny girl

Of all the gimmicks used to promote public transit in Toronto, this one is definitely the weirdest - and the most sexist. In 1969, at the suggestion …

Agreed on the rollerskates - they instantly make any girl way hotter. I'd totally support bunny girls on public transport - it'd be a pleasant change from our increasingly sexless society...

@Towered I'm as pro-sex as the next straight guy (and albeit differently most gay ones) LOL.......

But if nothing else, as uses of my tax dollars go, I don't think transit bunnies would be the best investment.

I might add, I rather don't think that would fly.

On a different note, thank goodness you're here, @Undead needs someone here who makes him seem like a dull, establishment thinker..... nice of you to help.

Of course it would fly - we're in the Trump era, where inappropriate behaviour is embraced and rewarded!

There are many words I could use to describe our society at present - but sexless??

You didn't grow up in the 80's did you?

You didn't grow up in the 80's did you?

I wasn't even a thought in the 80s

Today's society seems, in comparison with the 2000s and 2010s, to be incredibly explicit!

Or traps, tripwires, etc. Great to force the TTC to use its budget to fix this rather than fixing the reduced speed zones.

I'm picturing booby-trapped fall-away pits between the storage tracks........... you drop and the trap resets and you're never heard from again........ "The ghosts of Greenwood Yard" by Evan Dyk LOL

Trap doors triggered by spray paint fumes.

Was The Beaverton publishing then?

Before my time............

But Wikipedia suggests that it started in 2010, so that would seem to be a 'no'.

I keep my light under a bushel. A very short bushel.
