Burning questions

I keep a traffic log through an analytics utility known as SiteMeter that allows me to see what Google searches direct people to this website.

It appears there's a huge concern about the cleanliness of the bathrooms on GO trains.

Here are the most popular search queries (from least to most popular) since March 1, 2010:

10. bathrooms on go transit clean
9. how fast is GO train
8. GO 24 hours
7. Go sucks
6. how to complain about GO service
5. corridor club for real
4. GO train Barrie on weekends
3. can I sleep on GO train
2. slippery leaves GO transit
1. sex in washrooms GO train

The number 1. search query, regarding sex in washrooms on GO trains, really sets the benchmark for these people when it comes to romance.

Number 10. is most likely related to Number 1. It all makes sense now.

Research. I has it.

    I can't fathom, considering the smell of the deordorizer that eminates from the washrooms even trying to be intimate let alone turned on in a go train bathroom. Barf.

    I am glad that GO buses don't have bathrooms.

    Danielle, I have seen things take place on GO buses, so having a washroom isn't a requirement for transit nookie!

    I had sex in a GO train washroom once. It was with my b/f at the time and we were coming back from a Leafs game. The larger washrooms aren't so bad and there's plenty of room to move. I think the whole sex on GO trains curiousity means there are people out there who are sexually adventurous. Sex doesn't always have to be in a bed, ya know?

    I get the whole being adventurous thing but heaven's to betsy, in a GO bathroom? By god.

    I had my first encounter with ppl in the washroom last Friday evening on my way home. I was waiting for the washroom (not exactly something I long to do on a daily basis but given that I drink boatloads of water on a daily basis, inevitably I always have to go... oh and btw, I squat since the seats are usually a hot mess) and out comes a man real quickly and as he passes me, quickly glances back. I go for the handle and it's locked....Puzzled at first, then I understand. How on God's green earth does anyone fool around in those "coffin-size" washrooms is beyond me. I saw the woman afterwards and I couldn't help but wear this stupid grin all over my face because I *knew*.

    I have to say, though, if I was desperate and waiting for a bathroom for legit purposes and I saw two asshats go in or emerge, man I'd embarass the crap out of them. :)
