i think it would be cool if there was a button or something on my subway card uh TAP card they call it and if i pressed it or maybe like it sucked power from my fingers or maybe i could shake it idk im not a tech guy anyways it would be cool if it could tell me my balance. it tells u the balance on the turnstile when u go thru it but my neurosis increases as i approach esp if there a lot of ppl or a crazy person / crack head

for many years the mta refused to close the subway even while it was being worked on. they would just go down to a single track in service

guys would have to jump off the tracks to let trains go by

That owns.

right

nobody would expect a brt to be good or fast because they have no experience with buses on dedicated rights of way.

in LA we have the orange line which is a bus on its own street. the street goes like diagonal on w/e thru the valley. it hooks up with the good subway. i took it to community college and it was pretty ftw but its still a bus and i wish it was a train b.c autism
