I imagine that, at the time, the sign writer must have decided to go with a softer approach. I'm sure they must have visualised people dropping off loved ones and kissing them goodbye - and I'm guessing that was how the softer "Kiss-and-ride" phrase was born.
Why they never settled for "Drop-n-go" I'm not sure. :)

Paul, I can see that you a Kerry-Ann does not have kids. You do not just drop of your little ones at school. There is all this good-bye kisses that must happen and if the mom’s are not given gentle reminders to move on then this can take a while, while the queue behind them gets longer and longer as other moms wait to drop off the loved ones.
Drop-‘n-go is for that time when you in a rush to catch a plain.

This sign is fantastic !!! of course “Drop-n-go” should be the correct one, but I would have liked better “kiss-n-go” it is more loving.
I saw a very funny sign once in New York City on the 6th Av.
“don’t even think to park here” . This gives you immediately the idea that parking is prohibited, no doubt.

Post authorMarius – right you are… but I’d argue that it’s intended either for mothers with kids or newlyweds. ;)
Cristina – that’s pretty cool – “Don’t even think to park here”. :D

Haha, that’s great. ^^

Oooh how lovely a place that I would love to be dropped off at and ok perhaps I’d just get back in the car straight away but of course only after I received my ‘kiss’.. :)
Paul
Post authorThe question Bev is, who would be dropping you off? ;)
