downright lit stove burner of a transit take here but for what the Houston Metropolitan Transit Authority is spending on their fare checker mobs that roam in neon yellow threes up and down our miniscule light rail "system" all day writing people $75 tickets for the crime of not having $1.25 and their shitty flatscreens that alternate between showing you how surveilled the bus is and playing commercials for METRO Police, they could probably afford to place one set of three single-user, ADA accessible public restrooms at each Transit Center and hire custodians to keep them maintained 24/7.

This would help the bus drivers to not have to stand in a line holding it at the one (1) keypad-locked Employees Only stall each TC has (by comparison, up to 8 buses can be docked at Texas Medical Transit Center at a time and frequently there's additional buses parked around the perimeter waiting their turn; that's a lot of UTIs on the wrong day), but it might also go a long way towards preventing certain stops from devolving into bug-ruled open-air latrines because for all that transphobes love to whine about how allegedly unsafe public restrooms are, we don't actually have any.
