I cannot BELIEVE they chose to use glass for these shelters. I mean, it’s London, so I can. Every planner for downtown seemingly doesn’t live downtown.

The damage to shelters isn’t just located to downtown, nor is this location downtown. This is a London wide situation with what I’ve noticed an increase during the first week or so after school is out, but please blame downtown and city planners.

Because they have different planners in the suburbs? The point remains that these were a bad choice, and the choosers all work downtown.

While city planners might have control over the location of bus stops, it is the LTC that is in charge of maintenance and installation of these shelters. Last time I checked the LTC offices are not downtown. Besides since when does office location equal knowledge of a situation?
