For those who have never been to Bramalea station, the “bike racks” are but 15 feet away from one of these large 18” by 18” NO SMOKING signs attached to a fence facing the north parking lot. Whenever I smoke there, I muse to myself that it’s odd that they would put a sign THERE of all places, while designating an acceptable smoking area less than spitting distance away.mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-33263504542966171992012-04-18T10:10:24.099-04:002012-04-18T10:10:24.099-04:00I would think that more security would be needed a...I would think that more security would be needed at the beginning and the end of service, opposed to the peak rush hours.<br /><br />But, I can also see where they would ignore the start and end because they assume more fines could be given out when there are more passengers, and therefore more law-breakers.<br /><br />And in the end, I see no solution to this problem. It has been going on for so long, that more and more people are jumping onto the "Smoke Anywhere" bandwagon.Squigglesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-88336993259789514722012-04-18T10:05:53.956-04:002012-04-18T10:05:53.956-04:00Your logic is illogical.Your logic is illogical.Bickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-3751986760037500612012-04-18T09:36:25.349-04:002012-04-18T09:36:25.349-04:00Oh don't be silly CJ, that would make sense. ...Oh don't be silly CJ, that would make sense. <br /><br />You can't use logic to justify the mysteries of Go transit.Alnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-5221230295239750702012-04-18T08:48:31.890-04:002012-04-18T08:48:31.890-04:00It would appear these enforcement officers don'...It would appear these enforcement officers don't work before 7 (I think in one of Michael's emails he mentions GO told him this).<br />Interesting, isn't it?

They keep sending smokers, I'll keep taking pics and sending e-mails. The bus driver today commented that tere seem to be as many smokers as ever.<br /><br />I may not be able to get the GO people to live up to their stated policies, or get buttsuckers to respect the law or the rest of us non-buttsucking folk, but if I can't get satisfaction from GO, I can still get self respect by active resistance.
