then what about the stories of people at the parade acting like animals? should the MTA have babysat them on broadway to stop them from acting like drunken morons?

i love that little jog as you call it - i wait for it each time on the return - people who aren't holding on go for a bit of a move - it's fun :) and i know its 70 seconds from the jog to the station hehe at least if the crap 62 is moving.

I agree. LA is very much a real city. The stereotypes are mostly wrong.

There was a time (early '90s?) when the Canarsie-line underwater tunnels were considered unsafe because of lack of fire-extinguishing capabilities, and two trains could not be in the tubes at the same time, so, for example, a Manhattan-bound train had to wait at Bedford Avenue until its leader arrived at First Avenue. The tubes were upgraded, fire pipes installed, new signals installed, and suddenly the trains were flying through at 50+ mph, way before CBTC and R143s. Alas, the poor #7 riders, stuck with tubes that have 20 mph speed limits. Most other under-river tubes have standard 35 mph speeds.
