Subways are for sleeping: NYC Transit survival thread

This whitegirl in a track suit can afford cabs.

Plus she was essentially blocking a door and of course glued to her fucking phone.

right, because its not solipsism to believe that people should "live somewhere else" rather than inconvenience you on a train

yes, fucking breeders, kneel down to them 24/7

inconvenience the public bcz of their fucking arrogant hijacking of public infrastructure

she was probly on her way to a tapas bar on Columbus Avenue

go on

the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many

What need of yours was being infringed again?

to be an old man with cancer who can spread his legs or sit down

people should pretty much not be allowed to have children.
think of planet earth! your child is going to produce so many tons of garbage in its lifetime! and it's all your fault!

it's all hurting's fault

sorry, hurting, but as a parent you have destroyed planet earth and also the nyc subways.

obv I am talking about just one genus of parent, the selfish fucks

yeah iatee, you and your permanent-rush-hour never-a-seat idyll welcomes spacehog parents.

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.

did we say "fucking breeders" yet?
fucking breeders

they don't let riders off before they trample into the train

yet to notice which part of the population doesn't do this

sorry, but a third of em clearly think they are the upper caste

ALL BOROUGH, ALL LINES, Power Dip

Due to a temporary power loss system wide, expect delays on all lines. Allow additional travel time.

gonna be a long summer

borough's trains to be pulled by burros

I just took the F at 11am, no perceptible delays

(also only hour the F is not SRO)

Post here when you ride the G train shuttle bus.

I ate some overpriced artisanal pasta place near the bus stop. Won't be doing that again anytime soon.

i'm doing everything possible to avoid G madness

I rode it Saturday night, to get to the gay bar in Wmsburg after the Mets game. Not bad at that hour.

Sometimes I take the A train at the same time a baseball game has gotten out and people are going home, and then I curse the parents that bore me.

So many ways to be annoyed on the subway, so little time.

where is baseball affecting the A train?

lolololol it seems fairly clear that she was living on the ACE.

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.

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)

her legit complaints: dilapidated stations, cluttered map, no countdown clocks

I am a willing victim of any and all nyc subway trolling. I'm ashamed.

otm

the map isn't needlessly complex, it needs to be complex, because there are just a lot of weird things going on in the system
