I have to ask where the Metrolinks Duly Deputized Citizens were? Why does Metrolinks expend valuable word counts empowering Quiet Zone and Smoking Zone and Parking Zone and Cologne Sniffing Latest-Worthwhile-Initiative Zone where members of the public are to (on the cheap) enforce their word salads of guarantees of "safe and comfortable" traveling commute? I mean really! Next you'll expect Safety and Enforcement Officers to actually be hired! Harrumph! Harrumph I say!
Let em fall and hurst themselves. Kids learn fast that way when parents aren't keeping an eye on them. Then where will be the parents be? Try take Metrolinx to court.
The thing is, if anyone says anything to the parents they stand to be accused of "harassment" and "making threats". ....or some damn thing like that anyway .....
The best one I've encountered was a 10 year old who was playing catch with a football in the "kiss and ride" during pick up. His ball fell into traffic and he ran out to get it. I yelled at him. His mother complained that I had "taken away his safe space" with my loud voice. Yes she did. Of course she did.

ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is: the kids will get hurt and it will be GO Transit's fault.

I sure hope the train was stationary at the time. Very unsafe if the train were to make a sudden stop

I didn't know GO and Metrolinx offered free day care.
