And one more reason to put platform wall panels up at VMC:

This might be the work of an anti-VMC vandal.

That reminds me. If those walls get spray painted, they may never look clean. It's not the direction we should be going in for our stations.

Shouldn't they all be grey?

If the walls of the platforms are all that you are looking at, then yes. No tiles here to use as a background.

Why didn't Spacing spice up the Lawrence West and Yorkdale ones then? They too have station names etched on bare concrete just like the extension to Vaughan.

This would be fitting for VMC station:

You guys are terrible.

You guys are terrible.

It's modern art, we must embrace it.

But seriously, nice job on the buttons considering the ugly walls they built.

No, it's the station platform walls that are terrible. So incredibly disappointing.

In this Reddit Thread, it mentions that the TYSSE may have lessened the impact of the York University strike, but in doing so the strike is going on for longer.

^York U seems to have a strike every 5-10 years, I think they're the only exception in terms of the typical labour action we see. I doubt the strike would be any shorter than it is now. The only difference is that we would probably see a lot more anger compared to what we see right now.

well york is the left wing hippy school of ontario... when i was there in 2009 they had a massive walkout from oct to feb when the same libs called for binding arbitration.
at least this time the school is somewhat open for classes. back then both campuses shut down for the almost the entire duration.

Any updates on ridership numbers?

Still worse than the sheppard stubway (probably because of the strike). It should get better with time. Sheppard West is still seeing quite heavy ridership.
