Got Paint? Some stops do. Others, not so much.

Have you noticed how some subway stops are in way better shape than others? Many are litterally falling apart around you. At any moment, a 3 foot sheet of ceiling paint could fall off and hit you in the head.  Look up once in a while.  You’ll see entire sheets coming off.

The Kicker:  The MTA has the money to repaint 200 stations!!

The $5.4 billion sale of Stuyvesant Town generated a huge windfall for the MTA in mortgage taxes…

Currently, only 12 stations a year are planned to be painted.  Yup.  Just 12.

Gothamist is asking what stations you think are in the worst paint shape??
