NY Subway… thumbs down!

There’s nothing like a morning commute and hiked up prices.  Did someone say ‘sardines’?  Nonetheless i just wanted to rant and talk about improvements.  Sure they are making new train lines, sure they have a lot of trains, and sure they have daily ongoing construction… But its still inefficient and not dependable.  A subway commute is randomized and does not seem to follow a schedule.

It’s based on train delays and how other people hold up the trains.  That’s right it’s actually other people not MTA.  But they are also to blame because they don’t seem to understand this.  Solutions! (1) Announce and provide approximations of the next several incoming train and the train letter/number. This will allow passengers to also accomodate their travel plans and not try to rush in to the next train creating additional delays.  I have seen my share of seeing the next train so empty it becomes… (2) don’t you hate it when the local train gets to where you are going before the express train you switched on? WTF lol this is solved by #1 (3) i still dont have signal in my train station. Where is my wifi? 

These changes are easy to implement and should make people much happier including myself.  Hopefully, our next mayor can intervene to nudge some MTA @$$!!!
