To whet the appetite.

They closed the downtown Depot so all maintenance had to be done at the 9th Ave Station.

Well...when you do something like that, there are consequences and those consequences are...there are a lot of Buses running in a fairly enclosed space.

To this day the scent of Diesel makes me sick. I'd be spitting on the floor and it'd be black.

So one day someone from the Union called Occupational Health and Safety.

They showed up and had a fancy meter that measured the Air Quality and surprise, surprise it turned out to be atrocious. Like we were worse off than if we were living in a goddamned coal mine.

Anyways they tell Greyhound: "You need this many fans moving this many CFMs of air or we're going to have to shut you down."

To which...Greyhound directed them to some store-room nobody had ever seen before or knew about in which there were the requisite number of fans to move the requisite amount of air.

Still in the boxes they were purchased in.

So. OHSA guy signs off, says Greyhound is Compliant and we never heard from him or anything about it ever again. Back to huffing Diesel exhaust.

That store-room was never unlocked again. But Greyhound 'technically' had the required equipment, but for some reason couldn't be compelled to actually be required to use it.

And that was the end of it. Never again was the topic ever addressed.

There is a mysterious store-room with fans in it. Its probably still there.

That Depot should be turned into a museum or maybe some 'Locked Room Adventure.'

I worked there for years and I guarantee you there are places I've never seen.

Like that store-room? I remember thinking "where the hell did this place come from??"

Oh Greyhound.
