LIRR Signal Problems Cause Train Cancellations in Brooklyn and Queens

That report shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. I’ve seen farebeaters in all neighborhoods in the city, yet most arrests are from the poor. Obvious targeting.

Just got off one of the new E trains on my way to school. shyt is They removed the two person seats at the ends of the cars, led screens where the E sign and destinations were, new lights making it brighter, art on the ceiling and ends where they removed the seats. Apparently, you can fit 80-100 more people on the trains now. What's the point if the trains are forever delayed? For some reason, I have a feeling this was done to keep the homeless off the trains by removing those seats.

shyt makes zero sense

MTA's new folding seats spotted in the wild


I took the A during rush hour recently in Brooklyn and every car was wall to wall people and we left another train full of passengers on the platform when we left Jay Street. It's getting to the point it's really unsafe.

The bosses can’t figure this out.

I used to take the A from Broadway Junction to Jay st when I went to City Tech back in 05. The A was impossible during rush hour then so now must be some wild shyt.
