Posted by Peter Rosa on Wed Feb 22 22:29:25 2006, in response to Re: Attention Peter Rosa, posted by ntrainride on Wed Feb 22 22:06:34 2006. We're all on the public train, not in our easy chairs at home. One ticket intitles you to one seat. Not one and a half seats. You bag/package/"stuff" don't get the right to a seat. Hold your bag in your lap. Put in up in the rack. Put it between your legs. And don't give that crap that "people are bigger today than they were a generation ago." (What people? If you think that the whole population of riders consists of large framed extroverts, you're misinformed.) Unless every rider is as big as Andre The Giant the seats offer sufficient room for relaxing your butt. Accept the fact that, during rush hours, you will be a lil' scrunched whilst onboard.You need to accept the fact that the 3-across seats on the M-7 are physically too small for three average-sized men. As I mentioned earlier, the seat designers probably took average adult sizes into account without realizing the women, who usually are smaller than men, don't ride the LIRR in appreciable numbers during rush hour. It's not a matter of one's entitlement, but simple measurements. Installing 2x2 seating in the M-7's would have been a win-win proposition for everyone. My LIRR/NYCT blog |
