The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

 
I was up at Columbia this afternoon, and heading to the train on my way home.  I happened to be closer to the 110th Street station, so I headed in that direction (versus the 116th stop).
Quickly, realized that was a bad idea.  The place was crawling with NYPD and rescue.  From the look of it, [...]

Words of wisdom from the MTA that escaped some dude recently.
AMNY Tracker reports that today’s morning Q train snafu was due to a subway surfer.  No, not some idiot riding inside the train pretending to surf down the middle of the isle.  No, instead it is usually a rider on top of (as in the [...]

2. A [...]

Here’s a new SubTalk poster I love…
“Last year 1,944 New Yorkers saw something and said something.”
First of all, this must be false. Of that low number, I bet they weren’t all New Yorkers, but we can let it slide.

As the Post reports in their story headlined, “Victim Nails Perv,” (perhaps a poor choice of words) a woman managed to snap a camera phone image of a creepy guy who kept exposing himself.
