Loading ...Forget the transit tax, let’s pay people to not take the subway into Manhattan, we’ll find new air from somewhere. I’m sure that’s how this report will be interpreted by some.
Howard H. Roberts Jr. had his staff compile the data to solve a mystery he encountered after taking over the nation’s largest transit system in April. He said that he noticed that the subway’s A division (the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 lines) regularly operated with about 7 percent more late or canceled trains than the B division, (all the letter lines and the No. 7 line.) The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 trains are part of the old IRT system, the city’s first subway.
What Mr. Roberts discovered was that most of the A division lines are being stretched to their limit in two ways: no additional trains can be added to the schedule during rush hours because the tracks they use are already handling the maximum number possible, and most of the rush hour trains are already crammed with an overflow of riders.
A fucking mystery?! Is he serious? Shouldn’t be requisite for anyone wanting to take over “the nation’s largest transit system” to have actually ridden it once or twice? Thanks so much for your exhaustive study to figure out the completely obvious, Mr. Roberts.
Get ready for more delays and five dollar fares while Mr. Roberts tries to figure out why it’s so hard to understand those completely useless station announcements over the public address system.

It brought us confirmation that Lindsay is a drunken coke whore. We learned that psychotic and steroids are two different things. We found out that the reason the MTA is going broke is because it’s run by idiots. […]
