Most of the MTA rules and regulations are codified under NYS Law through the Public Authorities Act that created it.If you want to claim NYS law bans passengers from exiting a northbound train at 125th, you'll need to provide a cite for that. It is truly amazing to see some of the stuff the latter day Clarence Darrows on this site come up with. What people see on TV, or think is right, is just not usually how it works in the real world. Actually, this thread has made it abundantly clear that it's not TV or what people "think is right" that's leading them astray so much as an absurd pseudo-legalism that treats what exists on paper as paramount while ignoring all the real-world practicalities (eg, the scandal of physically preventing a passenger from exiting at 125th or the impossibility of suing over an amount less than $5). It's a distant cousin of the impulse to assume you can look at a track map and figure out a better routing system without regard for timing, passenger loads, and all the complexities of actually running a transit system. Although in this case, there's also a distinct vaguely-authoritarian issue as well; the MTA would rather you not exit at 125th and the MTA has "authority" right there in the name, so it must be a law of some sort! |
