Posted by piyer on Sat Jan 28 05:00:28 2012, in response to NYS Senate bill: "S6312-2011: Prohibits the consumption of food in NYC subways", posted by Gold_12TH on Sat Jan 28 00:47:36 2012. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE TERM "SUBWAY" SHALL MEAN ALL RAIL RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMS OPERATED BY THE NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMIT ED TO ALL TRAINS, RAIL CARS, PASSENGER STATIONS, PLATFORMS AND SHOPS OPERATED BY SUCH AUTHORITY.Umm, does that mean that crew lounges, token booths, and the like will also be "no eating" areas? And, like Jersey Mike said, this bill would (in theory) force in-system vendors to close - or at least stop selling prohibited items. The bigger problem is the rats themselves. If you ban food in the subways, where do you think the rats are going to get their food from? Yep, you guessed it, the city streets. Flocks of rats spilling out of the subway stations and into your trash cans. |
