Re: Advertising on Tangaras

Any truth to a proposal to put advertisements on the trains p/a system. I heard
they are also going to do it at Wynyard and Town Hall. Another rumour I heard
was for the olympics they are going to put armed security personnel on trains
and at major stations. And they won't be just carrying a pissy handgun. But I
hope they don't give those Chub guards guns as they might hurt themselves.
