Wonder who the genius was that decided all work would start at 12:01am. These guys realize that many folks get of work at midnight and need to take the train home? Seriously, they can’t start working at 12:30 to give time for all the trains leaving Manhattan to get to their respective borough? The IRT Lex Express stopped running to Brooklyn even before midnight on Friday/Saturday this weekend, forcing tons of riders going below B’klyn Bridge to transfer to an insufferably slow “J” shuttle and then transfer again to IRT trains in Brooklyn. A lousy half-hour wouldn’t have made a whit of difference to the MTA but a huge difference to riders.

Well, a lot of people maybe be getting off work at 1am also. Basically, people need to be able to DEAL with circumstances instead of thinking everything can be tailored to your specific situation. If the MTA listened to the public, they would never be able to do repair work because it always inconveniences someone.

Oh, in most cities all trains automatically shut down at 11pm or 12am, so repair work can be done.

Which is why I don’t live in MOST cities, I live in New York City (you know, the city that advertises itself as being open 24/7). While I don’t expect the MTA to cater to my every whim (and they don’t), a MAJORITY of workers on the night shift get off at midnight, so holding up work for 30 mins or so wouldn’t hurt much. Obviously, you don’t work any late shifts, and you’re probably one of those who think drivers should pay through the nose to enter Manhattan with a car, so maybe you could lighten up a bit and try to be more understanding for those who works nights and keep the car at home. My 30 min drive turned into a 95 min subway/ferry commute, which doesn’t exactly endear me to taking public transit at night.
