i don't know if this is true but,
During Autumn of 2000, a team of scientists at the Department of Forensics at University of Toronto removed a row of passenger seats from the Bloor Line subway car for analysis into cleanliness.
Despite TTC's claim that the interior of their trains are cleaned on a regular basis, the scientists made some alarming discoveries.
The analysis was broken down. This is what was found on the
surface of the seats:
* 4 types of hair sample (human, mouse, rat, dog)
* 7 types of insect (mostly fleas, mostly alive)
* vomit originating from at least 9 separate people
* human urine originating from at least 4 separate people
* human excrement
* rodent excrement
* human semen
When the seats were taken apart, they found:
* the remains of 6 mice
* the remains of 2 large rats
* 1 previously unheard of fungus
It is estimated that by holding one of the arm-rests, you are
transferring, to your body, the natural oils and sweat from as many as 400 different people.
It is estimated that it is generally healthier to smoke five
cigarettes a day than to travel for one hour a day on the TTC.
It is far more hygienic to wipe your hand on the inside of a
recently flushed toilet bowl before eating, than to wipe your hand on a TTC seat before eating.
It is estimated that, within Toronto, more work sick-days are taken because of bugs picked up whilst traveling on the TTC than for any other reason (including alcohol).
any thoughts, comments?
