I hate to sound insensitive but Toronto transit riders act as if everything they get is half assed in comparison to other cities. On one thread we are complaining about the walking distance for transfers, another thread how often trains should come to be considered rapid and on this thread complaining that they are not fully enclosed shelters. I wont address the first two here but this issue somehow is not a issue in cities such as Calgary which is considerably colder and by the way their trains come far less often. I lived through it for three years and survived to tell that it does in fact work. Is it optimal? NO it isn't. That said it does work and if costs of security and or maintenance is the issue then I can live with it. Everything can't be 5 stars.
