Ask an MTA worker

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

nice to know..
i don't give a shyt.
just don't act up on my train is all

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

yo the door closes when the door closes

i HATE nikkas who hold the door and shyt.. i usually stand by the door and if the door is closing and someone is running for it i don't hold that shyt,just stare at you in the eyes with the fukk you, your well being isn't more valuable then everyone else ALREADY on the train.

i wish the doors had blades on them so nikkas couldn't hold open the door

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.

during rush hours you don't need to but what about the early morning, midday, and not quite late night hours? Especially the last 2.

 

[radio rahiem]

you drive buses?

train conductor / open close the doors, announcements

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

nah..we got pissy drunk partiers and putrid bums sometimes stinking so bad it affects us

for me personally..if i see it coming, i'll wait.
late night though, it's only 20 minutes if you miss it. i know it sucks after the party or whatever, but it's better than most subway systems where they shut down after a certain hour or once per hour

Nothing's more infuriating than having somewhere to be and some a$$hole's holding the doors for their friends/family who haven't even made it up/down the stairs to the platform yet

the chances of the 2009 flick happening?

does anyone use the conductor call/help button in the cars? i always see that shyt but never seen anyone use it

i get kids and homeless people pressing it. usually it's nothing, but use it for a real emergency. a lot of times i have to stop the train to investigate and nobody likes trains stuck in the station
if you pull the emergency brake..just phone your job/wife/husband that and won't be making it in time.

I take the E train and the R to work and my stop is Roosevelt Ave then to grand ave and if you ride that line you know no low lives get off there. Just whites getting ready flood Jackson heights and long time Asian and Spanish people. At night you get bums on the train but they cracked down on them earlier this year so it's much better now. Going to work u rarely get a seat but going home it's fine. Now what I want to know is how the hell did 23st Ely stop get 90% white all off a sudden, I had plans to move there but now the rent must be crazy . Edit : I don't work in transit I run a design showroom .

is train speed up to the conductors discretion? Like do some conductors drive faster than others (assuming green signal obviously)

speed is up the the train operators [ the actual drivers]
some are fast
and some are just
but at certain spots in the system, they have the lights to slow us down, like at dekalb, cresent st to cypress hills on the j/z. safety feature i assume.
