Pass me the rock nikka
MTA is cooked in the Bronx it feels like only a minority pay for this shytthe subway is uh, definitely not fine lmao
ive been traversing this city solo for 15 years now. the first 5 years i was a student that primarily took the bus (which only has a leg up over the train because you aren't trapped in a tube underground), and the majority of the remaining decade, i was required to get up and report to a site or office of some sort and relied almost exclusively on MTA trains to do so. my current job requires me to be in lower manhattan 2 to 3 times a week. i share all that to say that i am a regular, seasoned straphanger and not just someone pontificating on the net.
the subway is cooked.
i regularly have to switch train cars to avoid fuccery included but not limited to...
i had a conversation with my mom about it a few weeks ago and she says that she's surprised how people are just accepting the deterioration of basic infrastructure that we all pay into. the fact that there are folks out there okay with the nyc subway seemingly returning to it 1980s form is wild to me
- people openly engaging in drug use
- people (typically men) exposing themselves and flat out sexually assaulting other riders
- people pissin and shyttin openly (note: none of these things are occurring on "empty trains")
- people fuccin, smoking, blasting music, ignoring basic etiquette, feeling that their bag is entitled to a seat, etc.
- bodily oders so rancid that people are gagging
- folks obviously looking to crash and looking for passenger to collide with
Seeing needles in the train station is a regular thing
They bout to raise the fare too
