I think this story was told to us in Schoolcar, they gave us a booklet of "uh-ohs" that occured down here.I wonder where in the heck did i put it? Im sure that C/R is pushing a broom somewhere now... If he/she is lucky its still for the MTA.. If not i dont think that person is pushing a broom.. |

Biggest problem isn't that it's just a large organisation, it's a large POLITICAL organisation and therefore, there's no downside to being a complete twit ... so long as YOUR party remains in charge and it doesn't splash on the gov's shoes DIRECTLY. But do a GREAT job and the tides change and you're STILL out. There's absolutely NO incentive to "do the right thing" ... and THAT'S what so many people completely miss. :(In Britain, accountants rule ... HERE, lawyers do. Here, bad numbers mean NOTHING. |

Oh, and incidentally you can't spell (the present third person singular of a deponent verb ends in "-tur" not "-ter"); and furthermore you are ascribing views to me which I do not hold, just so you can bumble along in your world of naïveté along with your straw men and corporealizations of the shadows of your invented forms acting out some perverse tragedy in your mind.I suppose that this would be vaguely risible if you weren't beginning to resemble the proverbial broken record. And as a result, I have spared half the people on this board the trouble of reading this by altering the subject field. |

The fact that MTA made a mistake doesn't mean you should.Besides, that really misses the point of the thread. My point is that MTA's customers can post whatever they like, and that includes what they see on the trains. You, on the other hand, are obligated to exercise discretion and judgment about what you post. That is part of your responsibility. If you resign from the TA, then, absent some contract language binding on you after you leave, you can post whatever you want. I don't see Train Dude worrying about this the way you do. That should tell you something. |

Perhaps the conductor didn't give a flying fuck about anyone "pounding on the doors". Few do that initially. The normal reaction to this scenerio is to curse and wait until the conductor hopefully opens the right side. If he doesn't, he hears it after the train closes down and leaves. |

The elderly or handicapped backtracking to, say, 90th or 82nd were given a reprieve. How many would have known that and remained on the train. Most uneducated riders would get off at Junction Blvd. And they'd have to do the same thing at Willets Point. This C/R screwed up. Reporting it to the MTA may have been excessive, but no employee has the right to rag on someone who does. The employee fucked up here, and that's just not acceptable. |
