Re: The Subways Melted Down Real Good (Again) This Morning

Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Thu Apr 12 21:15:00 2018, in response to The Subways Melted Down Real Good (Again) This Morning, posted by heypaul on Thu Apr 12 19:57:48 2018.

No amount of money pumped into the system will stop "unfit" passengers from getting onto trains who are going to get sick enroute delaying many train on the line.

No amount of money pumped into the system will stop homeless/mentally ill passengers who ride the system all night, who are still riding in the rush, lying across multiple seats, from using pepper spray on paying passengers who ask for a seat. This is what happened at High St. this morning making a mess out of the IND. The cops held the train for 90 minutes. Most 12-9's don't take that long to clear up. There was no reason for that kind of delay, unless it took half the time for the cops to show up.

These things will go on as long as homeless/mentally ill make a home out of these trains. No money pumped into the system will stop this. The worst thing EVER was the elimination of the transit police. I worked there, I saw the difference.

Of course, this delay and the delay on the L where there were sick customers at 2 locations at the same time makes transit look bad, and with social media it's more pronounced as more passengers will complain.

Police MUST get these people out. The courts and social agencies must "rule" in favor of the majority who just want to get from Point A to Point B. Transit must let the public know where there are major delays, which are the fault of transit and which are the ones they have no control over.
