Julia: Come on, that’d make way too much sense.

Ben: We can formulate our plan over beers.

They should hire that guy from Forgotten NY to do it . . . he knows everything!

Seriously, I would love to have that map on my wall. I fantasize about exploring the abandoned tunnels and stations under the city . . . but as a 30-something attorney, have no wish to be thrown in the brig.

The best use of the map might be for planning where to reactivate old lines or extend them for new connections (e.g. Second Ave Subway, express tracks on the F line in BKLN.

Now if they could only tell me exactly where every train is live on Google maps I would be impressed.

I hope that map includes the places that used to be a staircase, especially the ones in Times Square, and I hope that someone within the MTA will realize that those staircases not being there is a huge burden to NY’ers who are trying to escape the sea of tourists as quickly and as easily as possible.

Wait, the MTA doesn’t have a comprehensive map of the subway system?

The map would also help you plan which car to take for the speediest exit.

Excellent plan. I think that we could probably rope some more people into our nefarious scheme after next week’s happy hour.

I want that map too!

Okay Ben, here’s the deal. We’re going to steal that thing. I’ve already got a rope. We’ll sneak into the ‘central command center’ via the air duct. You’ll disarm the lasers while I grab the map.
