A glimpse of grades to come

I spotted this sign hanging up in the 42nd St./Bryant Park station this morning. With September upon us, New York City Transit is going to re-grade the subway after riders last year gave the system a whole series of C grades. I’ll have more about these rider report cards, but to whet your appetite, I have to wonder if the timing for the next round is not ideal. NYC Transit hasn’t had the time to implement changes, and riders won’t be as keen to grade the subways a year after doing so for the first time.
