How many days until it's all covered by graffiti?

The walls are covered already but that's always been a part of the Railpath aesthetic. The furniture should be fine

Not a fan of the tagging on the glass/ windowed portions of the noise walls. Blocks the views of the GO trains.

Someone should tell the taggers that we dont appreciate them tagging on the windowed portion and that they should keep their acivities to designated areas.

That says pretty much everything about Metrolinx customer service doesn't it. I wonder when they remove customer service from Union Station and instead open windows in some foreign land.

Ticket agents are becoming a thing in the past. Ticket vending machines now pretty much has everything you need that the agent used to provide.

It’s a major hub and it would be even busier after all the Go expansions and increase in frequencies. They should always have an agent on-site not just for ticketing.

I agree. I have lived adjacent to Bloor station for about 7 years and in that time I have never seen the washroom in that station available. In fact, if you go there now, you won't even see the signage that indicates a washroom is even there. They took it down last year.
I have never seen the inside of that washroom in all of 7 years because there are no employees there to check if the washrooms are safe (free from drugs and people OD'ing). Metrolinx has thrown in the towel and doesn't want to bother with urban issues. There is a whole other conversation here about the surburban design bias of everything Metrolinx does (no grafitti mitigation, lack of resilient materials, no clean up strategy, putting smooth, low fences that are beckoning skateboarders to grind on). I don't think anyone working at Metrolinx beyond the fresh out of school intern actually lives in the city proper.

Agreed, hence why they are customer service agents, not ticket agents.

ML does now put people on the platforms. They even have radios that are connected to the station PA system, and they can make announcements. They are nice people to interact with… but especially for central city stations, the cheery face of ML needs to be accompanied by security focussed people who monitor loitering, inappropriate use of washrooms, and even the basic cleanliness and state of good repair of station buildings washrooms etc.
Bloor is clearly the sketchiest station on the GO network, the decor is drab to depressing - Needles, urine stench, etc. Uunderground passages are not being maintained. Absolutely not the direction ML needs to be heading.
