Seriously though? Even then..........

I could get the 'hostess' idea, sort of..........bit of a stretch........but not in that outfit............ clearly that doesn't work without roller skates!

There's an old BlogTO piece on it here:

That time the TTC lured customers with a bunny girl

Of all the gimmicks used to promote public transit in Toronto, this one is definitely the weirdest - and the most sexist. In 1969, at the suggestion …

Agreed on the rollerskates - they instantly make any girl way hotter. I'd totally support bunny girls on public transport - it'd be a pleasant change from our increasingly sexless society...
 
@Towered I'm as pro-sex as the next straight guy (and albeit differently most gay ones) LOL.......

But if nothing else, as uses of my tax dollars go, I don't think transit bunnies would be the best investment.

I might add, I rather don't think that would fly.

On a different note, thank goodness you're here, @Undead needs someone here who makes him seem like a dull, establishment thinker..... nice of you to help.

Of course it would fly - we're in the Trump era, where inappropriate behaviour is embraced and rewarded!

There are many words I could use to describe our society at present - but sexless??

Or traps, tripwires, etc. Great to force the TTC to use its budget to fix this rather than fixing the reduced speed zones.

I'm picturing booby-trapped fall-away pits between the storage tracks........... you drop and the trap resets and you're never heard from again........ "The ghosts of Greenwood Yard" by Evan Dyk LOL

TTC to host Public Art Open House on Nov. 14

Nov. 13, 2024

Tomorrow, Nov. 14, the TTC is hosting an open house for persons interested in upcoming public art installations at TTC stations.

The open house, which will be held at the Toronto Reference Library, will allow members of the public the opportunity to preview the arts concepts that will be installed at five stations on Line 2 – Bay, Castle Frank, Christie, Donlands and Lansdowne stations.

The artists who have been selected are:

• Bay Station: Francisco-Fernando Granados
• Castle Frank Station: Vivian Rosas
• Christie Station: Sanaz Mazinani
• Donlands Station: April Hickox
• Lansdowne Station: Steven Beckly

The open house will be held at the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon in the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street) on Thurs., Nov. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet some of the artists and TTC technical staff.

Public art is an important component of station upgrades and is being included at these five stations as part of the Easier Access and Second Exit projects. Artists will work with the TTC to bring their concepts to life in the stations.

To date, art has been installed at the following stations: Chester, Coxwell, Dufferin, Dupont, Ossington, Runnymede, Sherbourne, St Clair West, Wilson and Woodbine. Art work is also being planned for several other stations in coordination with upcoming Easier Access and Second Exit construction.

More information about the public art process, art concepts, and open house can be found at https://www.ttc.ca/about-the-ttc/TTC-Public-Art-Program
