Well...again...they had closed the Downtown Depot so the 9th Ave station dealt with everything so there were buses idling constantly whether it was in the lanes getting loaded or in the cleaning bays or in the maintenance bays so the place just reeked of Diesel fumes and there wasnt sufficient ventilation.
I swear its taken years off my life. I literally would spit black saliva at the end of a shift.
So on one hand its easy to say..."whats a little cigarette smoke added to the mix?"
And in the other hand..."do we need to make things worse?"
But nobody cared. It just was what it was.
And thats the other thing! We had GIGANTIC bay doors for the trucks to come and go and for the Buses to come and go. You cant just leave the Bay Doors open for a bit? Air the place out a little?
Nope. Costs too much for heating.
Oh! And there were 'No Smoking' signs everywhere! Nobody cared. I hilariously remember that my supervisor had one bolted outside the door of his office in the Lanes.
Because he'd lean against it while having his smoke.
Nobody cared.
