The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

Just when you thought you’ve smelled every type of bad smell possible, you find yourself to be incorrect. 9 times out of 10, you discover your wrongness while standing somewhere on the subway. Thw smells of filth down here are definately unique in the world to this very island. No where else really has this [...]

The MTA had predicted that the new subway rules started this year would result in a much higher rate of summons issued. As a matter of fact, when the new rules were implemented, many straphangers were pissed! The expected that the MTA Police would be handing out fines left and right. Well, the complete opposite [...]

Unfortunately, in the case of a Gridlock Alert Day, busses don’t count as mass transit. [...]

That’s how cold it is. Ok, I lied. My MetroCard didn’t freeze, but I bet it could! Everyone on the train or platform is either pissed or in shock at how cold it is. In reality, it is like this all winter. It just takes a couple weeks to adjust. Anyway, people just look flustered. [...]
