Reply to Proposed new MSG by WatchesAndNYC
I went to catch a train upstate from Moynihan a few weekends ago for the first time...every single screen wasn't working. I am not joking every single screen wasn't updating for track numbers...so there was an employee walking around with a megaphone 🙃 Then every track entrance the employees had to move around the adjustable line ropes....which people jumped over and they had to yell about not cutting and going to the back of the line.
I just don't understand how trains have been around since the early 1800s and we seem to be getting worse at station design and upkeep

It's not THAT simple.
Asking these lunatics to stop is rising escalation. Most decent individuals know better than to light up a joint in a closed public space. I like the ppl who have the decency to go between train cars.
Moving to another car is a better choice, imo but you risk losing a seat and comfort of an emptier train. There have been many times when I moved to get away from Marijuana or loud music and end up having to stand for my trip instead. Sometimes, I'd have to suck it up and deal with the smoke if I had a ton of bags from grocery song and a decent seat.
All crime on the subway system needs to be dealt with if they really want decent, fare-paying people to ride the subway. The ones with a choice, at least. I used to love taking the subway til about 2018. Luckily, I don't depend on it.

I saw a guy huffing duster on the train, he comes into the car, sits down and you just hear the can going, he's got it right up on his face. I prefer that to the smoking.

I got on a 6 train last week, last car. Some asshole was sitting up one end smoking, the car reeked. So I "simply moved to the next car", as you so helpfully suggest. Whereupon I discovered another asshole, in that car, also smoking. And then again! Three fucking cars in a row, all with a dude smoking and stinking up the place. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Nope, thats nypd transit division’s job. If an MTA employee wants to pass the message along then they can, but they are not obligated too.

Before the pandemic I used to see it like 2-3 times a year, maybe. Ever since covid started I see it at least once or twice a month. Crackheads are taking over.

It's not small fish stuff. It's a major conflict of interest violation.
