Free hugs in transit?

It's been way too long since I've dished out hugs with you folks on Vancouver streets!
I vote we welcome this year's early spring with open arms.
How about Sat, March 8th at 2pm?
I'm wondering if we could do a mobile hug distribution on the Skytrain... maybe we could meet at Waterfront station and ride around the city and give hugs as we walk up and down the train cars.
I'm curious if anyone has tried this (I went to a newmindspace Skytrain party at New Years, but it was pretty huge) and if we think security will interfere?
Thoughts, concerns, suggestions?

    i don't think i can handle the hugging in confined spaces...

    one thing i like about hugging on the streets is that while it is very connective and grand... if folks don't dig it, they are moving on and walking out of the area we are in... so there is less awkwardness or chance of confrontations...

    in the close quarters of a skytrain, we could likely be pushing people's comfort zone without a clear way for them to escape from us if they need to...

    not sure how skytrain security would handle it... but i presume it is not illegal and as long as you pay for tickets it should be cool

    good luck and have a blast if you do go
