The Issue

I ride the TTC regularly, and like a lot of people, my commute can feel long, stressful, and repetitive. A few weeks ago, I found myself wishing for something, anything, to break the monotony of my daily ride. It was then that the idea came to me: why not add some fun to our commutes by putting googly eyes on the subway trains in Toronto?

Imagine stepping onto a subway platform and being greeted by a train with a playful face staring back at you. This small, simple change could bring a smile to someone’s face, brighten their morning, and create an opportunity for shared laughter among commuters. It's a quirky twist that could make everyone's day a little better.

Public transport is an essential service, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Cities like New York and Berlin have experimented with creative projects that transform their public spaces into lively environments, thus enhancing the daily experience of their residents. Why shouldn't Toronto join in on the fun and become part of this movement?

The cost of implementing such an initiative is minimal, and the impact it could have on commuter morale is substantial. By placing removable googly eyes on the front of subway trains, we can inject a dose of joy and creativity into the TTC without compromising any technical or operational functioning of the trains.

This initiative would not only promote creativity and fun but also ignite a sense of community among commuters. It would serve as a reminder that our city is vibrant, dynamic, and willing to embrace whimsy in unexpected places.

Let's rally together to bring this simple yet impactful change to our beloved city. Sign this petition to urge the Toronto Transit Commission to put googly eyes on our subway trains and make our daily commutes a more enjoyable experience for all riders. Every signature counts in turning this vision into reality.
