Ask an MTA worker

[radio rahiem]

That makes sense. The train could stop for like 5 seconds and people just start to tense up like this fukkin shyt again?

There's this book called mole people and its about how people live in the subway tunnels, particularly abandon ones, do you know if that's even remotely true?

you ride the E you already know.
i did hear of this one guy sleeping on the tracks like it was a comfy bed -no courtdog

 

[radio rahiem]

Breh I can't get over how outnumbered we are compared to white people when I ride the train.

take the A,B,C,D,J
i think those pass through the most hoods. ironically though, so does the L

What are some of the nastiest things you ever seen?

Once i witness some drunk homeless man shytted his pants, left a huge shyt stain on the seat and had doo doo sticking out his pants.

I know there's an MTA program for helping homeless people, how much does that program actually help homeless people?
What happens if someone doesnt get off at the last stop and somehow the conductor forgot to check?
What lines do they put rookies on?

Is it true conductors are on call 24/7? If that's true how are you able to balance having a social life with work?

i was on the C on wednesday and 1. i pulled into the 135 st station uptown side and i saw a wet nasty turd +urine combo sitting by the pillar at my position
2. had a homeless cick press the PEI button a few times on my run....clearly an EDP, she gets off my train and i see the backside of her pants is brown
fast forward and i see her monday same clothes and everything.. still smelling i closed the train down quickfast and booked it.
2a. had another homelsss guy on the G motherfukker stunk up the ENTIRE car. passengers went in caught a whiff of him and split to the next car.. at the last stop i had to walk thru the train to clean out and when i got to him at how awful he smelt. like no shower for weeks

3. as far as if someone is on the train at the last stop, if the train is out of service and they refuse to get off, we gotta alert the authorities. thankfully no problems with that.

4. the homeless program, i don't keep tabs on that, but i doubt the effectiveness since i see the same bums on the trains still begging or sleep at the same stations.day in and day out

Is it true conductors are on call 24/7? If that's true how are you able to balance having a social life with work?

no not 24/7
we're "on call" for a shift; either AM, PM or midnight shift. and the shift changes every 6 months

Is anything really better than that 1 train?

are you not afraid one of these scumbags on the coli are going to show ur pic to MTA officials and let them know you giving out some inside details

i work in the movie business here in nyc and i've worked on big movies like the dark knight rises, the amazing spiderman, premium rush etc...i be shook as hell to take pictures on set...we sign all sorts of contracts before they pay us

also, since you on the L i know you've seen some bad dominican bytches when you pass thru south williamsburg...you think you ever going to get blessed and ride that 1 train and have the luxury to see the baddest dominican bytches you will ever lay eyes on get off on 181st in washington heights? that should be a dream job for someone in ur line of work

also, wassup with that 6 train...if i was the conductor on that train ill go from cart to cart looking for some 6 train head i can post on worldstar

Are you a PA?

 

[Spatial Paradox]

same line all day. caught the R train today
but being i'm a "rookie" i bounce different lines day to day.

the whole unstoppable movie. shows why safety features are needed on the tracks.
but Final Destination 3 - End of the Line - YouTube

You've my sympathies. I clowned the C train in the other thread, but at least it's fast once it show up (and no train's cutting in front of it). The R just seems like a long, slow crawl for much of its route, especially in Lower Manhattan.

The MTA really needs to fix those intercom shots I rarely understand anything ya knuckleheads say.

Also I ride the f to work and the baddest bytches get off on Bryant park. All kinds of beautiful women. 7 line is the worst line on the face of the earth In terms of the kind of Indecent people that ride it.
