Translink stations ignores basic human needs, so I use Vancouver City Hall's squeaky clean WC, c/w heated floor

Broadway and Cambie is so very busy, and even though I'm on the way to Vancouver General Hospital for a study on asbestosis, I always use the City Hall's public washroom.  One can't be too careful at VGH, let alone the nearby bustling stores.  Besides, I feel guilty not purchasing anything on Broadway.

I'm just waiting for Mayor Sim to greet me with  "Do you have any business here Sir?

My prepared Reply:   "None of your business!"
