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

The bottom line is people want a reliable subway. As long as these people hang out in the subway they will be the cause of delays.

Case in point of an incident yesterday morning just after 7AM @ 42/8. I had to meet friends at 8 AM and since I was early I was sitting on a bench on the northbound platform. Some crazy lady in a filthy pink coat with the hood up and tied around her head was walking up and down the platform talking to herself. She planted herself in front of me. A C train comes in. She stands in the doorway. Conductor waited, she's not moving. C/R closes and the R160 door starts "popping" because she's causing an obstruction. After a 1 minute delay she steps out, train leaves. E train comes in, she pulls the same stunt. Another R160 C comes in, again same stunt till she decides to ride that train.

Those 1 minute delays add up. It could cause that delayed train to miss its' spot at a merging point making the train even more late.
