Subway takeover

I took the subway on the Bloor Danforth line about 10 pm last night. I couldn’t believe how many delivery drivers were on there with their e-bikes. On one subway car alone, I counted five. The bikes are big, so they blocked the seats and I had to stand. Fortunately, I was only travelling a couple of stops, so not a problem.

When I got off, however, several of the bikes got off as well. I was going to take the elevator, as I’ve had both a hip and a knee replacement. So it’s the easier and safer way for me. I gave up when I saw the line of e-bikers waiting for the elevator. Then a very drunk guy rolled up. I walked down the stairs, which was good exercise, but a bit of a stretch for me. A couple of weeks ago, the same thing happened. I saw several bikers waiting for the elevator, as well as a young mom with a baby in a stroller. You’d think they would have let her take the elevator first, but no. So she waited, while these guys took over the elevator. I think the TTC needs to set some rules about these e-bikers, because they’re taking over.
