Sorry guys, I need somewhere to rant. But it's quite serious stuff.
Right now I live in North York by the Peanut. An hour ago I was taking the subway home from downtown. This required taking the Yonge and then Sheppard subways to Don Mills, and then the 25 bus north.
For no apparent reason I like to sit in the very front of the train to see the tunnel. On the Sheppard train the driver chose to leave the door open and lock it by the front row. Fair enough.
Then I noticed him reading a book while driving the train. If that isn't a safety hazard I don't know what is. I was about to start recording him doing so using my cell phone camera, but he noticed and told me not to. Just to avoid any trouble I got off at Leslie and waited for the next train.
Something's quite rotten when subway drivers are allowed to read books while driving trains.
