I Guess We’re No Longer High-Class

By Sean Lerner

Over on the Transit Toronto forum, a transit fan uncovers an interesting quote from the January 5th, 1950 Toronto Star:
“We will keep our stations very high-class, with no cheap advertising posted around or unsightly vending machines. This is our duty because these things don’t add to the dignity of the station.” – TTC Chairman William C. McBrien

    i guess not!
    although i have to disagree with the quote – the Selecta vending machines in the Paris Metro are a godsend when you haven’t had a baguette or croissant that morning.
