Instead of a raise a the next collective agreement bargaining, you guys should request that... Imagine how nice people would be in the buses too? L: we have that system all over town here too and we're turning into lazy walkers because of it... 8 seconds??? There's no way I can cross the street in 8 seconds... It's a different attitude here in the north, we wait, we don't try to run for it... ah, there'll be another green light. FW: They have brought back the red light cameras, most people only find out when they get a nice ticket in the mail. I love how people try to defend themselves out of that saying stuff like: it's not a proper picture, it obviously a photocopy. Are they expecting Polaroids??? DR: I'll see you at home, we can discuss. BD: I think each buses should have a policeman or traffic cop on board giving tickets to all idiots to do that, double fine if there’s child involved.

It's quite exciting, especially when watching the old folks speed up when it gets down to five seconds. All the action of normal hit-and-run, with half the guilt! What the hell... It told them how much time they had to clear! And that said, how often do blind people just wander around Las Vegas?

Time to bring back traffic light cameras with 50 buck tickets if the cops aren't going to enforce the laws...a couple of 50 buck tickets will (plus a processing fee and GST/PST should be close to 100 bucks each time....) Worked/works in many US cities....as for the foot traffic ignoring lights...there should be a disclaimer on every corner...walking against the light may get you killed. HA!

I once got yelled at by a cop. Actually I was in a crowd of about 3-4 people (crowd?) and we all en masse crossed against a light with no cars coming. The cop spread his arms like Jebus and said loudly "WHAT'S A RED LIGHT FOR, PEOPLE?" And the bus wins!
