We all agree that a GO Train ticket is expensive. I don't need to go over this again. But I'm beginning to think the cost of the ticket is having an affect on the general well-being of GO Train riders.

It appears that the cost of GO Train tickets is so high that it precludes passengers from buying a mirror for their home. This results in women applying makeup in public and many more going to work wearing the most hideous outfits.

Case in point...

This morning, there was a woman of *ahem* a certain age, who strolled down the platform like she owned it. The skirt she wore was fine (knee-length, feminine, pretty), but the top...well, the top was all wrong. She wore a white blouse with a black wide-band belt that spanned the distance from her waist to her boobs.

This is not a flattering look for anyone. It is less flattering if your girls are drooping. No one...I don't care how small you are...should wear a wide belt that stops just under your boobs, forcing them to jettison over like a waterfall. And if you're in your forties, try to dress like it. It doesn't mean you have to start wearing Tilley hats, it means you can't dress like a teenager.

When we stopped at Pickering, a woman got on wearing white pants. With floral panties underneath.

Alright ladies. Here's the rule: If you are wearing a white shirt or white pants, do not--I repeat, DO NOT--wear coloured or patterned undergarments.

Perhaps if GO Transit reduced the fare a bit, these poor souls would purchase a mirror and take a glance before leaving the house.

there's the woman who gets on at oshawa, seems like the sweetest gal, but dresses in a time warp. matching headbands to skirt. sweaters from the 60s. it's vintage for the most part but the look is brady meets partridge. always wondered what was up with that.

It's not just the ladies - gentlemen, only tighty-whiteys under white shorts please.

there's a woman who gets on at Pickering who is on the other side of 55, but feels because she has a 'rockin body' she can wear the shortest, tightest outfits! it's very embarassing for everyone (except her!) Yikes!

dg: That's awesome! Who doesn't love a headband. And matching no less. Very Brady.

Anon1: Hmm...tighty whities...now there's a vision I may or may not need.

Anon2: I want to take these people aside and have a heart-to-heart.
