The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

This morning, right before my eyes, I saw a kids slip in the gap between the platform and the subway train.  I was standing about 6 feet away. He came running down the platform as the doors were closing.  He stuck his foot out as the doors were closing but missed.  I’m assuming he was [...]

You know, this isn’t even one of the more shocking things you’d see in the subway.  It probably wouldn’t even create much of a commotion. However, walk your naked ass into the middle of a super crowded train car, and you’d have some issues.  The last thing any New Yorker would allow is some naked [...]

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it best today when he summed up the state of the MTA.  He says the MTA does not have a single dollar for it’s 2009 capital plan.  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 [...]

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 [...]

Without further adieu, we believe it is time for our annual public service announcement for tourists visiting our fair city for the holidays.  Here goes: Get Out of the Way.  Thank you. To harsh?  I [...]

Here’s  disturbing blurb from the AP I came across today: Federal authorities are warning law enforcement personnel of a possible terror plot against the New York City subway system during the holiday season. An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press says the FBI has received a “plausible but unsubstantiated” report that al-Qaida terrorists in [...]

So tonight I had to go rent a car for Thanksgiving travel.  Unfortunately, I didn’t know that every garage in my neighborhood was going to be filled to capacity. Where the hell did all these cars come from?  There’s no room in the garages, and there’s no room to park on the streets.  I drove [...]

Or at least discuss strategies.  Yikes. There’s two fairly large, old men that ride the subway every morning.  I see them at least a couple times a month together.  They’re already on the train when I get on, so they must live further uptown. They have really distinct old-man gravely voices, and are quite round [...]
