Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]
Read More19 Year Old Shot in Queens Subway Station
Jose Sierra, 19, was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses say that they heard multiple shots, then saw Sierra laying on the ground with a large hole in his head.
Hopefully, the token booth clerk wasn’t asleep (like this woman) (and this guy) (and this guy) (and this guy) (and this guy) (and don’t forget this guy). WOW. I’m a little nauseous now after seeing all those TWU bastards sleeping on the job. They should be stripped of the union raise that is just handed to them, and it should be given to other workers that actually manage to stay AWAKE during their shift.
Police have no suspects but are looking for some people that were seen running from the scene. No arrests have been made.
This makes us wonder if there was a camera in that station. Wouldn’t you think that there should be a camera at every subway entrance/exit? Is that asking too much? That way, if a crime happens, you know you are going to catch the suspect on film when they enter or exit the station.
This whole topic is just making me too pissed off.

Broadway station is my stop. I work the night shift, and I’ve never seen any of the MTA employees sleeping in the year and a half I’ve been on nights.
There is a camera in the booth, but the articles are slightly misleading as to where the shooting occured. It was I believe, inside the turnstiles on the south side of the tracks. It’s in view of the booth, but out of the range where the ticket agent could really do anything.
In any case, it’s super frightening.
ReplyWell, I dont think it’s a question about whether or not it happens. Clearly the photos show that your colleagues fall asleep.
Interesting info about the camera positions though.
Aren’t the booths bullet proof?
ReplyAah, I seem to have misrepresented myself a bit. Please allow me to clean up a bit:
I live in Astoria, and use Broadway most frequently when going to/from work. My job is night hours, and during my travels home, I’ve never seen an agent at the Broadway station sleeping on the job. I’m certainly not suggesting that MTA employees don’t sleep, I’ve seen that before, just never at Broadway.
Everything else is just observation. The camera is pointed directly at the customer in front of the booth, and I think is aimed to capture any money changing hands. I believe the glass is bullet proofed, but since I’m not actually involved with the MTA, I can’t say for sure.
Sorry for the confusion!
ReplyI take this stop every day, and come home late at night often, so this is sort of scary news. I was in the station after they had cleaned up the mess and re-opened, and it smelled like chlorine/cleaning solution, etc. and I knew something had happened (then I checked the news) Shocking stuff.
Anybody know anything besides what the news has said? No motive makes it so scary. I’d rather know there was a motive so I can feel a bit safer at the station.
ReplyWOW!, I see you don’t miss any chance you get to bash us BASTARDS. Perhaps it was the token clerk who shot him. And I suppose you are 100% productive 100% of the time you are at work, RIGHT? I may be a BASTARD but you are an @$$hole!
ReplyTom McManus, you have got to be fucking kidding me!
100% productive 100% of the time? Are you serious?
Maybe I’m not 100%, but I am FUCKING AWAKE!
Yeah, and I do bash people who support unions that hold the city hostage while striking, only to then fall asleep on the job.
Get a grip on reality here.
If you manage to stay awake for your whole shift, do you expect some sort of bonus or something? Gold star for you then! You must be one of the good ones.
If you actually READ, you might have seen this:
Maybe you MISSED that part where I said your idiot coworkers that cant do their job right should be stripped of their raises, and given to the workers that do their job correctly.
I cannot even believe that you are trying to defend people that are litterally caught sleeping on the job. I was able to find 6 different photos online of transit workers sleeping on the job, and I didnt even look that hard! How many more are out there on the web? How many more don’t even get photographed?
ReplyAs usual another hater of MTA workers, I get so tired of reading all the complaints against us. How rude we are etc. I never hear people say how they approached the station agent in the booth with a nasty attitude and cursed them out over something the employee has no control. Like the idiot bitch that buys a single fare from the vending machine everyday and manages to screw that up. I do my job to the best of my ability considering what we have to deal with day in day out.

ReplyIt’s best to take part in a contest for one of the best blogs on the web. I’ll suggest this site!
ReplyThank you so much for giving everyone an exceptionally breathtaking chance to read from this web site. It is usually very sweet and stuffed with fun for me personally and my office acquaintances to visit your website at the least thrice in a week to learn the newest tips you have got. And of course, I’m also at all times impressed with all the fantastic knowledge you serve. Certain 3 areas in this posting are undoubtedly the most efficient we have all had.
ReplyI think this is among the most important information for me. And i’m glad reading your article. But should remark on some general things, The web site style is great, the articles is really excellent : D. Good job, cheers
ReplyJudge of a man by his questions rather than by his answers.
ReplyThanks for discussing your ideas on this blog. In addition, a myth regarding the banks intentions any time talking about home foreclosure is that the bank will not getreceive my payments. There is a certain amount of time which the bank is going to take payments in some places. If you are too deep inside the hole, they should commonly desire that you pay the actual payment completely. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of installments at all. If you and the standard bank can be capable to work anything out, a foreclosure course of action may stop. However, if you continue to skip payments within the new system, the property foreclosure process can just pick up from where it was left off.
ReplyThanks for your posting. One other thing is that often individual states in the United states of america have their particular laws in which affect homeowners, which makes it extremely tough for the the legislature to come up with a fresh set of guidelines concerning foreclosed on homeowners. The problem is that a state features own regulations which may have interaction in an unwanted manner on the subject of foreclosure plans.
ReplyThanks for your tips. One thing I’ve got noticed is the fact that banks plus financial institutions have in mind the spending routines of consumers and understand that the majority of people max away their credit cards around the holidays. They sensibly take advantage of that fact and then start flooding your current inbox along with snail-mail box with hundreds of 0 APR card offers shortly when the holiday season ends. Knowing that when you are like 98% of all American general public, you’ll get at the chance to consolidate consumer credit card debt and move balances towards 0 interest rates credit cards.
ReplyI would also like to add if you do not surely have an insurance policy otherwise you do not take part in any group insurance, you could possibly well make use of seeking the aid of a health agent. Self-employed or people with medical conditions usually seek the help of any health insurance dealer. Thanks for your text.
ReplyI admire what you have done here.
ReplyWonderful site, where did you come up with the information in this article? I’m happy I found it though, ill be checking back soon to see what other articles you have.
ReplyThanks for the points you have provided here. Yet another thing I would like to talk about is that personal computer memory needs generally rise along with other developments in the technological know-how. For instance, if new generations of processor chips are brought to the market, there is certainly usually a corresponding increase in the size calls for of both laptop memory and hard drive space. This is because the application operated by means of these cpus will inevitably boost in power to make use of the new know-how.
ReplyOne thing is always that one of the most typical incentives for using your credit cards is a cash-back or maybe rebate offer. Generally, you’ll receive 1-5% back in various acquisitions. Depending on the credit cards, you may get 1% returning on most buying, and 5% back on purchases made using convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores and also ‘member merchants’.
ReplyThanks for the ideas you reveal through this site. In addition, quite a few young women who seem to become pregnant don’t even aim to get health care insurance because they are concerned they won’t qualify. Although many states today require insurers offer coverage no matter the pre-existing conditions. Charges on most of these guaranteed plans are usually bigger, but when considering the high cost of medical care bills it may be your safer route to take to protect your financial potential.
