Nah nothing will ever improve without even trying to hold people accountable for the system they're running. Standards need to be higher here

The taxpayers of NY are overjoyed. /s

well no shit i know we can improve by a lot but I'm just saying there's no reason to be bitching like everyone else here, and you

To be honest, I don’t care about souls in train stations anymore. Want them spacious. If there’s natural light even better. And places to sit.

I mean, south station these days isn’t much better than north,,

1. But there are "right wing" union members. The Rockaway Republican club has or had several union members as its leaders.

2. Why are police unions bad? Either one supports unions (as I do) or not. Are there any other unions that are "Objectionable"?

3. Only internationalists care what "The Working Classes" of the world like. Why should I care about what Peruvian metal lathers or Polish mill workers like? I don't even care what many Americans like.

4. Most working class people don't identify as "Working Class" because they don't romanticize their socio-economic position and aspire to "move up".

5. If you don't see the irony of someone from one of the toniest areas in your borough playing Socialist, you should check the mirror. East Tremont to West Farms, maybe, but Riverdale isn't exactly "the hood. Just saying.

“Awwww Moe, the dank!”

North Station is a glorified MNR platform, though. No Soul.

Oh great....another rendering that'll never get built! Wake me up when they release the next one in about 2 years.

thats not the proposed new MSG. Thats the proposed new Penn Station.

Too many horrible stations to count in NYC. It's like the city and MTA have collectively forgotten that filthy, disgusting dungeons aren't a normal feature of urban transit networks

Those larger landlords and corporations are buying up properties around the country. Not just here where there are some protections.

That’s a solid rebuttal, and I agree with your station renovations suggestion 100%. There are several that are outright horrendous in both accessibility and appearance (2nd Avenue F line and Canal Street are the first two that come to mind).

I wouldn't call it pointless (given how heavily-used the station is), but we should be getting non-trivial regional rail upgrades along with station renovations for the same price tag.

Tell me you missed the point of this post without telling me lol

Hooray, pointless renovations.

Unions are good. Teacher's unions are good. Police unions are the exception. The working classes of the entire world like unions, outside of right-wing Americans obediently lapping up every scrap their uber wealthy masters throw them.

Someone get this guy out of the sub for having a completely rational take

They give directions, especially when trains aren't running or shit is rerouted. I watch them give directions all night to dumbasses who don't/can't read the posters plastered all over. And they are eyes an ears for like 25 an hour tops. You think that's where mtas money issues lie? They call for cops constantly, many times over the intercom when they know cops are at the station but in a different area or on the mezzanine. I swear most of you dudes just like to bitch all day about nothing like goddamn babies.

One of them helped me retrieve my AirPod that fell on the tracks at 42nd street. It was waiting for me in an envelope with my name the next day. She even cleaned all the soot off before she closed the envelope.

you and i and probably most people in this sub can probably navigate a city where we can't even understand the language in but some people...some people are like my aunt who still haven't figure out more than 1 way home to the same place shes been living in for the past 20 years.

lol if the cops don't do shit, why would they?

The PATH has had their agents outside for years

The Dane Cook of Martial Arts

Ill believe it when i see it, i swear an article like this is posted like twice a year "For sure Booth clerks will have a different job this week guys"

I’m sure it’s the same for many MTA office employees. Just replace the booth with a cubicle.
