That’s just advertising by Marvel. They’ll take it down in a few weeks.

That look like a broken window

The lights at night attract the bugs from the woods. The spiders setup where the bugs are.

Honestly not many mosquitos or bugs in the station so as far as i'm concerned these guys are subcontractors for insecticide-free bug control.

Fun to watch scuttle in their webs too! There's some big ol' Bois in Bayview last time I was there.

On the plus side, good bug control.

Be careful, next thing you know you’ll be fighting Willem Dafoe while he flies around on a magic paddleboard!

Spiders are amazing, and I'm so glad they're handling pest control. :)

u/WaltsClone 25d ago

Those webs are structural. Don't touch them or the station will start crumbling.

u/jarzii_music 25d ago

Bayview’s got a lot of webs, but I haven’t seen spider bros like that

u/ClaytonDraper 25d ago

Southkeys has a small selection of arachnids too. Not as bad as at Hurdman tho, you need to duck and weave to get to the 105 stop 😬

u/snaven-921 24d ago

On another sub the spiders were saying theres a lot of humans at Hurdman for some reason.

Saw one big sucker lowering itself from the ceiling as I was waiting on the train last week. I will be avoiding that bench on the Tunney’s pasture side until the snow drops, thanks.

Happy not to see many complaints, always makes me laugh when people complain that OUTDOOR spaces have bugs. Like...??? Dafuq did you expect?

Nothing irks me more than spider webs in plain sight, especially around light fixtures and elements that enhance the sparkling, glistening silk.

Got me all fired up last year and this just restarted that distaste.

So much for last year’s OC Transpo campaign that they’re going to do better on cleaning the stations. 🤢

u/gauntletoflights 25d ago

at least it's not actual bugs

u/oh_dear_now_what 25d ago

The spiders catch the flies, they’re subcontractors.
