Rainy Eve Day of the Subway’s Report Card

Posted on July 23rd, 2007 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway, Rider Strategy, Second Avenue, This just in, Transit Failures

Yeah, so it’s rainy as hell, but at least it’s a little cooler out today. That’s a refreshing change.

Unfortunately, it is still humid as hell on the subway. I had the unlucky fortune of getting on car without air conditioning. It was just as crowded as always, so that kinda kept me from being able to jump ship and run to another car. There was a high risk that I might not have been able to get back on board. With the poor reliability of service in heavy rain, I wasn’t about to get out, miss the train, and wind up stuck on the platform forever.

In other news, the Straphanger’s Campaign State of the Subway report comes out tomorrow today (damn you day old wire story)!! In a sneak peak, it seems that the R and W trains aren’t getting a good rating (shock and awe). As a matter of fact, the report is going to be released outside City Hall’s R and W station.

Last year, the 6 train was rated highest. SUBWAYblogger doesn’t think that will be the case this year.

The report should be especially interesting considering the changes that lie on the horizon. Increased fares, congestion pricing, and the behemoth Second Avenue line. This report should be a fairly accurate barometer for telling us if the system can handle the increased load.

Obviously, without even looking at the report, we all know that that the answer is NO. However, now that Bloomberg was able to push congestion pricing through, the City will be eligible for $500+ million in funds to improve the infrastructure. So, much of that cash **should** be going toward improving mass transit as well as getting the toll system up and running.

So, the worst rated lines might be the best areas to start improvements. We’ll see.

    e still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    One more issue is that video games are typically serious as the name indicated with the major focus on understanding rather than leisure. Although, it comes with an entertainment part to keep your children engaged, each and every game is generally designed to work on a specific skill set or area, such as instructional math or science. Thanks for your publication.

    I have observed that smart real estate agents everywhere are warming up to FSBO Advertising. They are recognizing that it’s not just placing a sign in the front area. It’s really in relation to building associations with these vendors who sooner or later will become customers. So, after you give your time and energy to aiding these suppliers go it alone — the “Law associated with Reciprocity” kicks in. Thanks for your blog post.

    One thing is that one of the most popular incentives for utilizing your cards is a cash-back or even rebate supply. Generally, you’ll get 1-5% back for various purchases. Depending on the card, you may get 1% back again on most expenses, and 5% back again on expenditures made from convenience stores, filling stations, grocery stores in addition to ‘member merchants’.

    In these days of austerity and relative anxiety about getting debt, most people balk against the idea of employing a credit card to make purchase of merchandise or perhaps pay for any gift giving occasion, preferring, instead to rely on the particular tried in addition to trusted way of making settlement – raw cash. However, if you have the cash there to make the purchase fully, then, paradoxically, that’s the best time to be able to use the card for several reasons.

    It’s my belief that mesothelioma will be the most lethal cancer. It’s got unusual traits. The more I really look at it the greater I am persuaded it does not react like a true solid tissues cancer. When mesothelioma is a rogue viral infection, in that case there is the potential for developing a vaccine in addition to offering vaccination to asbestos uncovered people who are open to high risk associated with developing long term asbestos associated malignancies. Thanks for discussing your ideas for this important health issue.

    Thanks alot : ) for your post. I want to write my opinion that the price of car insurance varies from one insurance policy to another, simply because there are so many different facets which give rise to the overall cost. For example, the brand name of the car or truck will have a tremendous bearing on the price tag. A reliable aged family car will have a lower priced premium when compared to a flashy performance car.

    Good article. It is quite unfortunate that over the last decade, the travel industry has had to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu, swine flu, and also the first ever entire global recession. Through it the industry has proven to be robust, resilient plus dynamic, getting new methods to deal with difficulty. There are generally fresh issues and the possiblility to which the market must just as before adapt and behave.

    Thank you for this article. I would also like to say that it can often be hard when you’re in school and starting out to establish a long history of credit. There are many college students who are just trying to make it and have a lengthy or beneficial credit history can be a difficult matter to have.
