The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

Back in 2005, the MTA passed new regulation making it illegal to walk between train cars (using the end doors).  The new rule was created mainly out of safety concerns.  The MTA wanted to reduce the number of injuries and deaths resulting from people falling through to the tracks. Recently, the transit cops have discovered [...]

More photos of a man, suspected by police to have been involved in the murder of James Polcica, have been released. Police think that this guy may have followed Polcica out of a near by 7-11 store.  There’s a $22,000 reward on the line.
