I'm not sure how vagrants shitting on the sidewalk or on the platform is a better alternative.
My phone slows with multiple windows open...This is how public toilets on the Helsinki metro work:

You pay, you get in... to keep out vagrants/addicts.
This is the practice in Northern Europe at least - even at McDonalds, you have to pay. If you're a customer, you get a token.
To schedule work on many stations you hardly want to do them one at a time as each is unique. Ideally you do them in 'groups' and that's what TTC tried to do.I find it a frustration that there is so much ongoing, but slow moving construction at so many stations. Is it a fair criticism that the TTC would have been better off tackling them sequentially instead of concurrently? it seems like right now everything is half done - with at least a year to completion. Could they have knocked off many of these projects faster by focusing on one at a time - or were they all subcontracted out anyway and one project's completion schedule is independent of another?

Just info from reddit so take it how you will but I heard from an escalator technician that even stuff like getting an escalator replacement takes YEARS on top of what it would elsewhere because of the procurement process, odball requirements, and then rules about staging and access. I think parallel is a lot faster way to get something done based off of thatI find it a frustration that there is so much ongoing, but slow moving construction at so many stations.
