What I don't understand is why these Trump-like politicians look so sloppy in their suits π€ I mean damn do you even check the mirror before leaving the house? After the Obama-era (& peak COVID) these politicians have a taken a real slide in the style department

Finally lol. While we're at let all the other animals out of jail. It's called instinct - they know how to survive on their own! Fuck zoos & circuses. can't wait until the day they're banned for good

I've lived in the greater NYC my entire life and in NYC itself the past 13 years. And of course crime is not nearly as high as the 1980s, however perception is everything. And crime is one of the reasons ridership has yet to bounce back.

There's no doubt our public transit system is unique in the sense that it runs 24/7. However, I am not naive enough to think it's wise for the MTA to waste $600m on wifi underground when there are clearly more pressing needs (reference my original post) AND they have a huge deficit every year. Having cell service underground is NOT a necessity. Period.

And to your tone deaf commentary about reliable service: tell that to NYers who live in the outer boroughs - specifically in areas with a dearth of transit options. It's easy for folks like you to live in a bubble where you don't have to worry about if you're going to arrive to work on time or alter you budget spend because now you have to spend money on a car service.

"...Transit officials have in recent months turned their focus to adding cellphone service to all the cityβs subway tunnels and stations... Estimated cost $600m"
Meanwhile train & bus service is terrible, the stations are disgusting, entrances/exits at some stops remain closed & π AND... MTA has the gall to continuing raising fares. All the while mismanaging funds. Gotta love it π€‘

Setts or cobblestones they still look much cooler than asphalt. I say restore them!
