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 MoreOld Cars with Old Ads?
I don’t know if they had to reactivate a car on my train today or what, but all the ads were out dated. The first car I got in had no air conditioning (or passengers for that matter). So I broke the law, and walked between the cars while the train was moving. I know, [...]

Well, that little maneuver is going to cost [...]

Beijing Starts Security Checks at All Subway Stations
In preparation for the summer Olympic games, Beijing has started security checks at all of their subway stations. No, they aren’t a joke like they are in the NYC subway system. “It’s just as strict as the airport security checks.” [Source] They have wands to scan passengers for weapons, and all large bags go through [...]
