That thing was built in 1955 with cheap steel and had a life expectancy of 50 years. It costs millions of dollars every year to hold it together with bandaids and scotch tape. Every time I drive over it I prey it hangs together long enough for me to make it across. That rusting pile of angle iron can't handle any trains!

If you spent $7 you get 7 times 1.15 or $8.05. (25 years ago a know I passes the math regent but now I only remember that this has something to do with algebra) How much do you have to spend to get a metrocard that is a whole-even dollar amount?

Is this hike really still news to anyone? I assumed it was covered pretty well leading up to this point, yes? gearing up to field complaints from irate customers next week when the fare hikes go into effect
