On a typical weekday
morning, people waiting at Lawrence East RT Station on the southbound platform
to go one stop to Kennedy Stn. will often stand there while one, two, three, four…trains enter the station full
(or, semi-full, more on that later) and leave without those people being able
to get on. At 8am, those people are not out gang-banging or slinking in the
shadows targeting little old ladies; at that time of the morning, people are
out using public transit because they must, to get on with a productive day
either working for a living or going to school to better themselves and prepare
for being able to contribute to society.
This is cruel and unusual torment and torture for people just trying to get on with their day.
