Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed

Read MoreThis Just In (for like the 4th time this year): The Subways are Crowded As Hell
New numbers recently released show that subway ridership in the first 6 months of 2007 was 4% HIGHER than the same time period in 2006.
Only 4%? That’s not much, right? Wrong!
When you figure in the actual raw numbers, it’s huge. There’s already been about a billion subway rides this year. BILLION!
The PATH train’s growth was 7%. That only goes to show that populations are growing in areas like Hoboken. More and more people are choosing to live outside in these areas, and simply make the short commute in. If you work in lower Manhattan, it’s almost more convenient than living on the Upper East or West side. You just hop on the PATH and get dropped off in the heart of the financial district. Just pick up your bags of money, and head back to your slick Hoboken loft.
If you had to guess, how many people would you think ride the subway on a normal weekday? If you said 7.2 million people, you would be correct. That, or you read the same Newsday article I did.

7.2 million? Good God. then ridership IS up, because the last time I heard a hard number, it was lower than that. Not sure what the number was, but it was definitely lower. Are you sure that’s not a system-wide figure, including the buses?
ReplyI believe it.
Dear F train,
I hate you. You have too many people.
No love,

Ouch, That hurts a bit. The Subway is still my favorite place to catch up with the NYC scene. But still…everything is going up and there is nothing to do about it- unless more people want to walk to work? Castings? and photo shoots? Even banana’s on the street are 35cents, not 25 cents anymore!

ReplyI have mastered some new points from your site about pcs. Another thing I’ve always assumed is that computer systems have become a specific thing that each home must have for most reasons. They supply you with convenient ways to organize households, pay bills, go shopping, study, tune in to music and also watch tv series. An innovative approach to complete all of these tasks has been a notebook computer. These personal computers are mobile, small, effective and transportable.
ReplyThanks for the strategies presented. One thing I additionally believe is that credit cards supplying a 0% rate of interest often attract consumers along with zero interest rate, instant endorsement and easy online balance transfers, but beware of the top factor that is going to void your own 0% easy road annual percentage rate and also throw anybody out into the bad house rapid.
ReplyOne thing is always that one of the most typical incentives for using your credit cards is a cash-back or even rebate present. Generally, you will get 1-5% back on various purchases. Depending on the credit card, you may get 1% back on most expenditures, and 5% back on expenditures made going to convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores in addition to ‘member merchants’.
ReplyThanks for your advice on this blog. Just one thing I wish to say is that often purchasing consumer electronics items on the Internet is not new. In reality, in the past ten years alone, the market for online consumer electronics has grown significantly. Today, you will discover practically any kind of electronic unit and other gadgets on the Internet, including cameras and camcorders to computer pieces and video gaming consoles.
