[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 181977, member: 3907"] Abbey, you reminded me of something... I work right in the downtown core of the city, which also happens to be a tourist centre. Lots to see and do, lots of tourists, and lots of busy people in a tearing hurry to get to and from work. Not a pretty combination. Especially at rush hour. The subways have put up lots of big colourful maps to guide people as to what track they should be on, where they need to stop, "You Are Here", and all that. Where did they put them? Right at the tops and bottoms of the stairways and escalators. Great idea, you think. Right where you need to see them if you are lost. However, the big drawback is that while you're checking the map, there's a teeming horde of impatient commuters, just about to come barrelling up or down the stairs, and they WILL knock you over (Toronto the Good, my A**). I have sometimes warned tourists to, "stand over there, because the herd will be by any minute and they won't stop for you" Weird. [/QUOTE]
