i think that this would make sense. when you think about it there are something like 2 turnstile staff per small station, more in the bigger ones. then youve gotta hire people to go down and refill the ticket machines and take the cash out and do all that other stuff. ive neva thought about it like that before

what a pile o' dookie.

wanna make our own signs depicting people in peril and paste them over it all? :D
