I feel bad Sneha had to clean up after someone else but if that Roll Up cup wasn't rolled up I'd hope she won a lot of money or a car for her troubles and it would serve the lazy ass right who left it there in the first place.
That's the thing about "power" and "privilege". Those "in command of" everything never have to be responsible. All they have to do is "own everything" and make others "responsible". This system seems to work for both police and civilian aristocrats.
^ the trains generally have about 9 minutes to turn around in Aldershot and about 20 minutes at Oshawa so it would be tough to have them cleaned up (litter/garbage/newspapers etc). It's a shame that people feel so entitled that they leave their crap everywhere with the assumption that someone else will clean up after them. Don't even get me started on what I have witnessed being done on the late night trains...only that not all people seem to be housebroken....something my dog learned as a puppy.

I do hope Sneha was able to win on the Tim Hortons' Roll up cup for doing a good turn.

GO should really employ people at Oshawa and Aldershot to do a quick sweep for litter at the end of each run.
