Today was the first day this week that I was able to catch my morning train to work!
This line has been f-ed up all week long. Twice, I got to the platform just as a train was leaving, only to wait 15+ minutes before an announcement of service changes.
Even after walking 20 blocks to the closest express stop, I was still screwed. There was a “sick passenger” that kept me from being able to transfer back to a local service line. So I had to say on the express train and catch a local back uptown.
When getting to the station where the alleged “sick passenger” was, I saw the “victim” surrounded by police. It wasn’t a sick passenger at all. It was an old, drunk woman who was screaming and yelling. She couldn’t walk 5 steps without tipping over. Then she would scream and try to squeeze out a slurred demand or racist rant.
Today, so far so good. I’d like to just forget this morning ever happened.

It’s amazing that the MTA hasn’t figured out that ONE sick passenger is not a good enough reason to shut down the entire line. That is the dumbest policy I’ve ever heard! Push these people off the train and move on.
And yes, if I was the sick I’d be fine with being pushed off the train onto the platform and left there. I can’t hold up thousands of people from going to work.
And drunks can be pushed UNDER the train.
