The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

So we have been kicking around the idea of expanding SUBWAYblogger to include other cities around the country and around the world.  However, we would keep each city separate. SUBWAYblogger.com would remain the New York City portal.  However we would create additional subsites.  For example: dc.subwayblogger.com boston.subwayblogger.com london.subwayblogger.com etc. In essence, a network of SUBWAYblogger [...]

Clearly, that was just was just bullshit. 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. Now that’s dedication. (but I admit I am a little jealous)

And you thought that ditch between the rails was there to collect water and muck (pictured here).  Well, you should also know it is there to save your life.

The MTA is recruiting websites for their new (?) affiliate marketing system. If you are a webmaster, they would looooove to pay you 5% for all the sales traffic you send to transitmuseumstore.com.  That’s right, cash money for selling transit schwag. Well, we weren’t especially impressed with the program, so you won’t be seeing ads [...]

In a recent advertising move, Ikea launched a campaign up there in Cana-dee-a. They took over an entire train and [...]

Tonight around 5pm, an N train jumped the tracks. There have been conflicting reports of whether or not it was just one car or two that derailed…not that it matters. The fact is that there was a subway derailment. Passengers on board had to be removed with a rescue train. Typically, this means a train [...]
