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 MoreWTF? A $107 Metrocard in the Works
For that price, it had better come with at least two drinks. The latest news is the very real possibility of subway fares going over $100 for monthly cards. I call bullsh*t there not because of the price necessarily, but what we get. I love the lead from the Daily News: Brace yourself for the [...]
A bit of rain for the next few days. Will the trains hold up?
I guess only time will tell. When there’s back to back days of solid rain, it can cause some big issues on the subway. For whatever reason, the subway and water just don’t mix. It is kind of ironic that an massive system of underground tunnels build on an island at the mouth of a [...]

Not just falling a little short…literally does not have a single dollar. So now law makers are scrambling to find revenue alternatives. They are [...]
More Pointless Message Boards
Looks like the MTA is still installing those pointless LED message boards. The signage is designed to tell passenger when the next train will arrive as well as relay important messages. The whole project has been a huge joke. Some stations have had them installed for months if not a year or more. The kicker…they’ve [...]
