honestly, the real enemy on the subways is students. teenagers and college students alike. they're loud, they lean against the pole, they don't let riders off before they trample into the train, they run and cause a ruckus on the platform, they've got backpacks swinging all over the place, and they have absolutely no regard for anyone else.

also smelly hobos

of course. let's not forget the hobos.

people who play games on their cell phones w/ the sound on are actually the true enemy

they're bad. but there's significant overlap with students there. see also: people who play music on their iphone speaker.

lolololol it seems fairly clear that she was living on the ACE.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 13:09 (nine years ago) link
if she was confused about which train was the local vs. express that resulted in 3 extra stops before reaching hoyt schermerhon, then she was getting on at nostrand, where the express and local are *on different floors*

and the train letter and number is on the side of every car at least once, except for me today since I was on a train with some dead electronics: no signboards and no air conditioning, the latter giving me a nice taste of the london underground.
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 24 September 2014 13:16 (nine years ago) link
her complaints: air conditioned cars, express trains, color coding by manhattan trunk lines, and too many fonts (?? should just be helvetica aside from some odd ancient signs)

I can't believe she's complaining about AC, it's almost like there were zero typical NYC summer days this summer.

not that it doesn't have its problems too, but I like something closer to the map on the right, just for clarity (and for separating local and express lines):http://www.kickmap.com/images/7_wholemap_comparison.jpg

With all the non-subway information that the current MTA map does show - like the location of all the heliports in the city - it doesn't offer this simple but important piece of subway information indicating what station stop to get off to turn around in case you miss your stop.
Delightful!!!! I want this!
