After all this time…the dreaded 120 steps is not mandatory on my commute! One of the first to ride no less.

The escalator construction on 53rd and Lex is killing me. I’m getting yelled at all morning to “stay to the right!”

This is nothing!

How many days until it stops working?

I lived one block from this for 14 years until 7 months ago. This was my main subway station. I barely even recognize it, but it’s a good taste of home.

I once came home from a long night of drinking and decided it was a better idea to puke next to the escalator than on the escalator. Sorry to whomever had to clean that up, but I think we can all agree I made the right choice.

Yeah, I don’t walk down those. I tried the first time, and I started experiencing vertigo.

god that fuckin elevator in the summer, and that poor guy they would station in it with a teeny tiny fan
tessajanuary t1_jeg5zha wrote
I haven't checked it out today yet, but my understanding is that the elevators are staying open, it's just the tunnel to overlook that's being closed.

The escalator actually gives me vertigo at the top.

Is this the station that has the four elevators? And all this time I had no idea there were escalators!

Breakdown fast and then take multiple months to fix again

I am sad because now they are closing my entrance because that one is open. Will add another 10 minutes to my commute. I’ve lived at 181 for 3.5 years and that station has been under construction the entire time. I plan to move at the end of the year and I expect I will have lived at that stop for 4 years and it will not have been completely functional that entire time.

I can neither look up or down that one when I'm on it and I've been riding subway escalators over 60 years. It's a doozy.

At least they let him have a radio/cassette player/CD player.

Definitely get vertigo if it’s long enough.

On the 181st side there are stairs and this escalator. On the 184th side, elevators.
broadcastterp t1_jeh2kqx wrote
This is correct - the two entrances will be at 181st and 184th and Fort Washington
