Well they actually agreed to put dispensers on the buses and I am still trying to process that this is real. I keep thinking about how much cleaner things will be now that we pushed them on it even if it felt like shouting into the void for a while. …

Here in London Ontario we only have one form of public transportation - Buses. While using public transportation, people are in close proximity which has been proven to increase the spread of germs. This is special concern during the cold and flu season. We plan to bring attention to this topic and present the need for hand sanitizers on buses to the LTC. Hand sanitizers should be places at exits of the bus and be available to those who wish to use them. This is in hopes that we are improving the health of others using the LTC. By signing this petition you are showing support for this cause. We hope to present our idea to the LTC at their next meeting on November 11/2008. So Please pass on to your friends and loved ones!

I honestly did not think this many people would actually care about keeping our buses cleaner but the momentum is just incredible right now. It feels like we are finally getting somewhere with the LTC and I keep thinking about how much healthier we would all be if they just listened to us for once.

Buses are just rolling petri dishes. About time they did something about it.

Long overdue. The amount of germs on those handrails is probably insane.

Good idea. Kids touch everything and then touch their faces. Sanitizer is basic common sense.
