Needs a chainsaw

    Love this! Wonder if the Aussies have as many foot riders, bag riders, etc. that we have on the GO?

    The sign says "Super simple stuff" - sadly, a lot of people these days cannot comprehend that.

    Mind you, without these donkeys, there would be no material for this awesome blog!

    Someone at GO needs to see this. Instead, we get stupid advertisers like the wool pants for babies or as I like to call them "sweater pants"!

    I don't think I've ever seen a PSA poster from GO in regards to foot ridin'. They have those 'in your face' stand behind the yellow line ones, which in my opinion, doesn't warrant being a top issue because I can't recall a single incident in my 5 year ridership of someone falling onto the tracks in front of me. GO makes it a standard practice to warn us everyday about that goddamn line during boarding and debarking CSA announcements. How about friggen passenger courtesy? Let's make that part of the standard messaging, m'kay?

    @ CJ: See? Maybe it's because of the yellow-line signs that nobody falls onto the tracks.

    Or maybe I'm just naive.

    Anyway, if that's true, then perhaps signs about foot would make them listen? Hum. I wonder.

    I think it's the 100 or so announcements and signs about the yellow platform line that speak to the success of said campaign.

    GO needs to address the foot riders. And fine them. A zillion dollars sounds good.
