      Listen. The train service in New York is HORRIBLE. It took my son and I 90 minutes to make a 30 minute trip. We left early and were still 30 minutes late. Trains closed everywhere. Everybody was confused as hell. It doesn’t need to be this way.

      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 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/18/nyregion/new-york-subway-system-failure-delays.html …

          Try needing medical care, looking for an accessible station, riding while injured/healing from a medical condition, finding modestly clean bathroom, getting to your destination on time, reporting sexual harassment, etc. conditions are terrible.

          Come to Munich. Then you'll experience a really shitty subway system! P.S. I've been to NYC. System's fine.

          Garbage how the article blasts the (innaccurate) salaries of the rank & file (as if salaries shouldn’t be at or above cost of living), but doesn’t discuss the issues faced or the roadblocks that managment creates for them.

          And totally glosses over the numerous assualts every week that workers face. Lumps everyone together (workers and upper management) as if the people at the bottom are the ones ruining the city. Meanwhile they’re regular ppl trying to earn a living in a disgustingly expensive city

          I was born and raised in Brooklyn. The NYC subway system has been broken for decades.

          Restoring the marginal tax rates from the 1950s could go a long way towards repairing infrastructure across the country. Income in excess of 5 million dollars a year should be taxed at 91 percent.

          I found this previous @nytimes article fascinating. Hi-tech signalling can improve urban transportation much more effectively than pipe dreams of driverless automobiles
