OK. I'll start...

I've sometimes argued over what's the best subway line with others from a passenger's POV. So the flip side and my question is, from the POV of someone who works for transit, what's your preferred line to work on/best line to work on?

 

[radio rahiem]

i should preface ths by saying there are 2 different divisions down here.. the A division [ number lines(1-7)] and the B division[letter lines(A-Z)] i work in the B

best line to work with, to me is the N,Q followed by the L

with the N and Q, from Manhattan to Astoria, the women and there's less incidents on those lines
L got some honey too..from one end to another it's like

i'm only here a short while, but yea, pretty much you get the same passengers most times on their way to/from from work

i took it 4-5 years ago..it was fairly easy.
hardest part was waiting for the call

Why some of you dudes refuse to wait an extra 10 seconds so that people on the local and express can switch trains whenthe trains are clearly only 10 seconds away?

the trains ain't ever on time anyway. Why do most of yall always do this?

Why conductors a$$holes? They see you running for the door and close it in your damn face?

during rush hours, we're not required to make transfers because there's a train dead ass on our heels.
it has happened when i close down the trains and take off only to see the local/express show up. we don't know where the next trains are unless we witness them approaching the station

oh and i usually make my schedule times
but on the real tip, if it's late, chances are some idiot ws holding the doors or some shyt went down.

rarely but sometimes (like once every 6-8 weeks) my TRANSFER from the subway to bus doesn't work and it seems to forget that i swiped on the subway so it charges me an extra 2.50 which pisses me the fk off. cause i spent 7.50 a day on traveling when it should be 5.00

so in spite of this i hop the turnstile, i think it's only fair ...

not really a question just thought i'd tell you this :D

You feeling any effects from the perfluorocarbons the NYPD is leaking in the subway?
