Hero Reports

I promise this is not an advertising plug.  I legitimately think this think is pretty cool, so that’s why I’m posting about it.  It just so happens, they are an advertiser this week.
Anyway, check out “Hero Reports.”
It’s by MIT about the people who “See Something, and Say Something.”
The idea is to track down the 1,944 [...]

Ever thought of just jumping the turnstile when your Metrocard stopped working for some unknown reason?  You know you have plenty of cash/rides left on it, so it must be something wrong with the machine.  So screw it, just jump over and move on with your life.

Recap: Free Ads

Posted on July 6th, 2008 by The SUBWAYblogger in Uncategorized

london.subwayblogger.com
etc.
In essence, a network of SUBWAYblogger sites would be created, but you [...]

Remember way back when the news came out that the MTA planned to invest some $30 million on service improvements? Remember when it was “delayed”? Well, now it’s just not going to plain happen.
It is all based on the slow economy, and the lack of income tax [...]

Just when I thought I was thinking a little too much about subway seating strategy, I stumbled across this site that went as far as making complex diagrams.
