QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan To answer the question, because they are. Even in Toronto's TTC Subways are filled with lushes, leches, thieves, wierdos, stinky folk, punks,teen gangsters and many other unsavory folk. Can't explain why but that is how it is. Why do you think police officers often have to patrol them?

QUOTE: Originally posted by erikthered Been watching "The Matrix Reloaded" on TV and "Matrix Revolutions" as well. The "Trainman" in "Revolutions" is a disreputable, downright ugly cuss sorely in need of a haircut and dental work. He has a great line, though, "I decide whether you ride or not. Down here, I'm God... because I made this place." Sound like anyone's coworkers? On the other hand, "Reload"'s main thrill to me was watching the outstanding car chase scene on the I-5 (or the Ventura freeway). If California rush hour traffic is like that, I'll take God on the train any day of the week..... Erik
QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Come to L.A. and ride the Metro bus system if you want to see some serious insane types. So far the light rail and subway have been mostly free of it, but the transit police do a good job of keeping the real bad cases from camping out on the trains.
I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.

Thats why there were no crazies on the bus at 3am in the rain....[;)] Have fun with your trains Reply Junctionfan Member sinceFebruary 2004 From: St.Catharines, Ontario 3,770 posts Posted by Junctionfan on Monday, November 22, 2004 5:10 PM QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C Junctionfan, Somehow your image of Conrad Black on a Subway train struck me as pretty scary. I've never seen Rupert Murdoch on a train either! The scariest things on Australian trains are drunken teenage schoolboys - if you can keep out of their way, you can think how lucky it is that they can't afford a car!

It is intresting that in Black Nieghborhoods the Buses run all night but when they hit the white suburbs they are completely empty. Are they all on African Standard Time? I mean dont white people have to get around at those hours too?
