TransLink officially opens first public washroom at

Weird. They’ve had these for decades. I guess they decided to simplify the design by not having them go up and down.

All kidding aside, I hope they can keep them safe and clean, and build more.

Good. Now open public washrooms at all stations, employ janitors to keep it clean, then hire staff attendants at all stations during operation hours, not attendants that walk around and move around stations. That's just the bare minimum standard for a fully fledged public transit system. Then maybe you can start justifying the high prices of public transit relative to other countries.

But honestly, the c-suite and the board of Translink are non-innovative - they should be financializing the Compass Card with its own network of merchants and stores that take it as payment, ability to load and offer slight incentives to use it over credit cards - which we know ultimately only goes to enrich banks and American companies. All I see is Translink trying to 'wash' itself with a positive image by spending money on 'community outreach'. What? You have a captive audience - what outreach do you actually need? Waste of money.

Wowo. Public washrooms. What an idea. But I guess a public washroom in Vancouver is news worthy. Maybe we can spread this amazing, new idea to other parts of the city to reduce the smell of piss and shit in the alleys and sidewalks. Maybe a bit too progressive tho
