The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

 
It’s time for the city to get rid of 2007 and move on to 2008 like only we can.  It’s time for the shit-show known as New Year’s Eve in Times Square.
Ask any New Yorker that has been around here for a few years or more.  They’ll likely tell you the last place on earth [...]

I’m I the only one confused over everyone’s “relief” due to the recent news that the $2.00 fare will not be going up?
The mainstream media makes it out to be a reason for citywide celebration.  What’s the big deal?  The fact is that the other denominations of rides are likely going to go up.  They [...]

Let’s look at a quick holiday breakdown:
St. Patrick’s Day:  An excuse to get wasted in the middle of the week.  And who doesn’t love green beer?

Is that not the craziest shit you’ve ever seen?!?!  What’s even scarier is that’s how our subways are going to be in the next 3 years.  And [...]

Google is getting geared up to start mapping New York City Transit systems. Ultimately, you’ll be able to map a transit or subway route just like Google Maps.
I can only imagine that this is going to be disastrous for Hop Stop. They’re a pretty big company anyway, so I’m not losing much [...]
