Those signs with the fine print are more about food, animals, and loud music. They don't mention shoes, or even clothing, for that matter.Ryan Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319610639577200961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619643649667162121.post-85374447185170393002009-09-19T11:49:39.290-07:002009-09-19T11:49:39.290-07:00I've been warned twice now by bus drivers, but...I've been warned twice now by bus drivers, but only since labour day. The second one seemed a little surprised when I told him that I didn't own any shoes that fit, and that I didn't have any with me. If I get called on it again I'm going to say "shoes hurt my feet" and see what happens.<br /><br />Is there anything about shoes on the fine print notice at the front of the bus? I can't read in a moving vehicle so I haven't been able to check.Anemonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388335557538267054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619643649667162121.post-237295394298065062009-08-28T09:50:35.622-07:002009-08-28T09:50:35.622-07:00I'm glad somebody can get away with it.

A different one every time, but always the same general demographic. And never a member of the SkyTrain Police, which I find telling.Ryan Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319610639577200961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619643649667162121.post-37735048425952129522009-08-28T08:13:46.027-07:002009-08-28T08:13:46.027-07:00Translink does not require shoes.

I don't know whether this is because I'm female, I use a subsidized annual bus pass (= very poor), or because I ride the buses in Vancouver and the North Shore rather than in Langley. I suspect it's because I'm female - we get away with a lot more. :)<br /><br />(But don't get me in any trouble - I'm not putting my boots back on for anything.)Anemonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388335557538267054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619643649667162121.post-67862557158720785322009-06-30T21:58:00.345-07:002009-06-30T21:58:00.345-07:00Very interesting angle Ryan.

Looking forward to the next installment of findings in your experiment and hoping your barefooting will not end when your experiment ends!Creative Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251517312250805516noreply@blogger.com
