Re: A & C line FUBAR?

Recently there was a ban on carts and carriages over a certain size limit. I know for sure there is absolutely no enforcement on this ban as I continued to bring my full size laundry cart on the subway for my Trader Joe's shopping trips and not a single member of enforcement batted an eye. Of course, it was quite obvious I was consciously securing that cart at all times because I'm sure as heck making sure my groceries get home and not letting anyone stupid make my cart go somewhere it shouldn't.

And speaking of them not learning from the Goble incident, that was obvious as early as that time someone threw a rollsign box in the tracks at Nostrand and that R32 C coming in hit it, made a huge explosion and I believe the operator lost part of their hearing because of that and sustained minor injuries. The sad part is many know who did that too and although they were found, of course let go shortly after. (I don't believe in incarceration in terms of punishment for most things anyway, there needs to be more of a focus on awareness and healing rather than continually punishing and enslaving a person's time when they could just simply be made aware of what they did wrong, get the help they need and return to living their life properly and not brutalized and traumatized by the prison system so much that it shapes the mental state of an individual to go right back into prison). It's just the fact a dangerous incident happened by having a rollsign on the tracks and it appears that it wasn't an obvious enough warning sign to transit an incident like that can easily happen again and a quick training on what to do in those situations to survive depending on where the incident might happen. Ventilation wise, 110th Central Park North is probably one of the worst spots in the system for that to happen, but a preventative training measure for all operators on what to do in that situation and where to go at the right time may have influenced a better outcome to that tragic situation.
