New Yorkers!!
Read this. I had no idea the @nytimes released this brilliant explanation of all that is broken with the NYC subway system.
Cuomo & DeBlasio have to own this.
On several levels we are now rated as having the worst subway system worldwide

Welcome to weekends in NYC

A mess. We take these trains on the weekend, but today it was all messed up. The apps were wrong. The workers were confused.
-
And they keep raising the God damn fare!

When I have to take the train, which I avoid when I can drive, it's always an ordeal with crowded trains, late trains or trains running on alternate tracks & sometimes with a shuttle bus required. I don't recall it being this bad when I first moved to NYC.

Lifelong New Yorker & subway rider here. I empathize w/ur frustration, but the MTA is controlled by NY State, not NY City, so call out the Governor & State Legislature, not
@NYCMayor -
Please read the article I just shared if you can. I understand the structure, but we have tons of shared failure here.

They locked the authority into paying $5 billion in interest! "In one particularly egregious example, Mr. Cuomo’s administration forced the M.T.A. to send $5 million to bail out three state-run ski resorts that were struggling after a warm winter."

I mean, it’s the weekend. A real New Yorker expects to double their travel time on weekends.
-
I already said that we gave ourselves double the time. And we were still 30 minutes late.
-
Idk. The MTA doesn’t give a fuck ab anyone/anything.

Every major US city could learn a thing by studying the transit system in Berlin. PHENOMENAL public transportation system and you're never more than a five minute walk from a hub.
-
Europe has the best transit systems!!
-
And we in the United States certainly without a doubt has the worst transit system!! The more we get into time, the more we step backwards and into utter complication! China makes the US look like we've stepped back into horse and buggy days.

HahHHahaaa yet the bosses make millions!
