IN CORPORATE TTC STATIONS

The Toronto Star has this food-for-thought story in today's edition...

The question is whether it is a good idea to rename some Toronto Transit Commission subway stations after companies; rather, corporations. That is the polite way to put the issue. The TTC could raise some much needed cash this way.

The business side of me thinks it's a great idea. Something is bothering me about this, however.

... Imagine the subway train guard/conductor having to call out, "next stop, McDonald's... McDonald's station is next".

I can imagine a funny editorial cartoon where we see a bunch of obese people clamoring to get off the car at "McDonald's" station.
