That's right MTA clerks, you aren't above us. Time to stand while you work all day like the rest of public transit peasants!

>only takes a few violent, disruptive students

So you're suggesting people who are middle class or even slightly lower than middle class are all violent criminals? Or just non-white people?

Honestly, I'd rather these Scarsdale NIMBYs just say what they really mean.

The Longshot

Free range and hormone free 🤣

Is there a nyc sub for this?

Great idea. It's women's history month, so let's make it a Black woman. Thanks for the idea, sweetie.

This is all true.

I would be highly highly surprised if the building requirements didn't require a set standard of low income housing.

Haha

all the folks complaining about this being a "patronage job" must never actually take the train because anyone with a stroller, wheelchair, bike, luggage, etc use them regularly to get on the train. they're also the ones who get you through when the turnstiles break or cant collect payment, let first responders into the station quickly, give tourists directions, and are essentially New York's defacto Lost and Found service.

sure, replace them with an automated service kiosk that would be contracted to some Albany crony who would go massively over budget and take a decade to roll out across the city only for them to constantly malfunction or break.

They should have plenty of room to walk around, since people are avoiding the train like the plague….

I can’t tell if that “tour” spelling is from non-native English or excessive Englishness

When I think of a subway booth clerk, the image of Spence Olchin from King of Queens is all I see.

It’s a union job, if anything they would get moved to a different position. That’s the beauty of unions, the city or the MTA can’t just fire you and eliminate your job.

It's like putting zookeepers into the pen with the rest of the animals

Buyers are paying seven figure prices and five figure property taxes so their kids can attend public schools that rival some of the best private schools in the US. It only takes a few violent, disruptive students to ruin an entire school and that is exactly what low income housing brings - why would current homeowners not fight it tooth and nail? If you disagree with that, would you like to pay $500K for a Ferrari that will be taken away and replaced with a Fiero in a couple months?

By me none of the card readers and machines work so you need to contact them quite often

You can filter the map for just produce or meals instead. Most of the places on the app are indeed bakeries, but there are quite a few pizzerias / restaurants / chains there too.

They should give them stun-guns to make sure the people who don't know how to act are kept in line.

Really curious to see how many interactions they had in one day sitting in the booth. I feel like most of the time I see them, they’re not even paying attention to anything or anyone

So now people have to decide are they catching the train or the free roaming booth clerks.
