Complain about the subways to NYCT prez

by Benjamin Kabak

Everyone in New York has a complaint about the subway, and today’s the day to get your voice heard. This evening from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the NYC Transit Riders Council is hosting their 2008 President’s Forum on Subways with NYCT head Howard Roberts. I can’t make it due to a ticket to the Yankee-Red Sox game tonight, but get your voice at 2 Broadway this evening. You can’t say no one’s listening. [NYC Transit Riders Council]s

Clean up the A line. Dirty cars, etched windows, vagrants constantly sleeping on the subway and TOTALLY inattentive MTA employees. Don’t believe me? Get off the 184 th street stop and look at the employees sitting on the phone with their own personal business. Ask them for any information and they are too busy and you’re definitely the interruption. Talk to the MTA employee who has black with grey hair/glasses and sits on the phone hour after hour.

Oh….clean up the station too. Grab and railing or sit down on one of the seats and you’ll see that you’re a dust and dirty magnet.

I wasn’t able to go to the meeting, but I did stop and yell at a brick wall on the way home. I expect the same response as I would get from the meeting.

I’ll keep you updated.

Franklyn: Complain to the president, I said. Not to me! I’m with you on all of those complaints. And 184th street is just one of several stops where the employees are sleeping or doing something non-job related.

I wonder who took more of a pounding last night — Howard Roberts or Clay Buchholz.

If Roberts got hit harder than Buchholz last night, I’d almost feel bad for him.
