NYC Subway: It Would Run Great If It Weren't For Those Awful Customers!
So...if I am reading this corrctly, it's the customers who are screwing up an otherwise fine operation! What a typical, clueless, elitist, obtuse and ignorant thing to say.
New York City's Subways Are Slow, Crowded and Smelly -- Officials Say Part of the Problem Is YouThe article used to be free, but sometime in the past 24 hours they stuck it behind the paywall. But the title says it all!

Here in the southern and western part of Indiana the weather was funny. Friday 90 degrees And humid, typical summer weather. Saturday it's 65 degrees and raining. Typical fall weather. I don't remember it ever being that distinctive a difference in the weather just because the calendar says so.

NYC refused to permit the passenger system. The capitalists then lied on the permit application, claiming they would build a REALLY BIG tube for pnuematic messages for stock brokers, as had already been done.
Later three competing companies served the city. Fairs were a nickel.
As inflation and taxes rose, prices here and there on long runs rose. The city insisted those be sold to a more efficient (crony) operator. At the last, government coercision drove competition out and established a monopoly.
When taxes and inflation rose more, the city took over the subways promising to hold fares at a nickel, forever.
No new lines have been built since.

An unfortunate amount of people decide everything has been made fine, whatever was broken is now fixed, and it will never be broken again because.......uh, we're too busy watching sports ball, trying to get laid, glomming on to whatever the next mindless pursuit is, and pretending to ourselves that after the last disaster the people responsible for things know better now.

Her accusations are baseless. She doesn't remember any details and offer none, except Kavanaugh did this.
The four purported people present including one woman have denied it ever happened.
She has now changed her story and even states her therapist is wrong in her account.
There isn't even enough here for any investigation.
Yet Fox publishes a "poll" saying more people don't want Kavanaugh confirmed? F Fox, BTW. Who did they poll, the village idiots association?

A little know fact: 1/27th of all NYC subway trains are actually one way trips to the people cracker factory. Social isolates, illegals, dropouts, deplorables and others unlikely to be missed are routed via selective ticketing onto the 'kibble kars' and offloaded into the nutrient vats where they become additives for Malt 40's, Menthol Kools, Twinkies filling, and other EBT SNAP Card best sellers...

I'm hazy on my contract law. If I [Grassley] make an offer with specific terms with a specific time deadline for acceptance [Saturday afternoon], and then the deadline passes, and then the other side [Ford's lawyer] offers other terms and a willingness to keep negotiating, do we have a deal?
Media is going nuts about this Thursday hearing that will never happen. Grassley gave a final deadline and it passed. He hasn't said anything, because why should he. He's going to enjoy his Sunday, then go to work tomorrow where the first item on the agenda is to vote Kav out of committee. Then the full Senate votes.

The Democrat Machines in NYC have had it good for a long time.
Good--for them. They negotiate sweetheart deals for and with the very
unions that rape them on a daily basis , get locked-in voting blocks,
kickbacks and campaign donations --and then simply pass the cost onto
the backs of both the poor and stressed-out commuters, both of whom can
be relied upon to loyally support the same Democrat Machine. All the
while maintenance and service gets worse and worse......
And then when it all goes tits-up every twenty years or so--well, they just blame the Republican President and Congress.
And so it goes.....

Actual residents would certainly know the routes better, but I don't think I've ever been on a Chicago train that wasn't above ground for most of the trip. I think there are some subway sections, but I don't know where.
I was never personally murdered on a train in Chicago but I did spend the entire hour trip from Midway to Union Station sitting across from a guy in white pants who had pissed himself at some time in the recent past and did not appear to have been paying proper attention to his hydration.

I've visited London maybe once a year for almost thirty years now. My daughter and grandchildren live in London. I ride the Underground /Tube and the buses. The advent of the Oyster card makes getting on and off London transit fairly easy. You occasionally see some strange things on the Tube---more so in Central London than out in the suburbs at the end of the District Line. Mostly the cars are clean--but I've ridden in some (just this last month) where seats have been ripped off their mount and were lying on the floor.

Back to my Whelan theory. 1: It was not a mistake, it was purposeful. Possibly the timing was off as other components were not in place as planned. (speculation)
2: He did not pick Garrett's name out of the Bethesda Prep yearbook randomly.
3: Whelan knew Keyser's identity when he laid out his tweet thread (not speculation) - and presumably knew what she had said to Judiciary Committee investigators (speculation)
4: Keyser's statement is that she does not know Kavanaugh, never went to a party where he was, wasn't at a party with Ford and Kavanaugh, ever.
5: Keyser likely cannot say that she NEVER went to a party with Ford. Lifelong friends, classmates, and all that.
6: Ford says she socialized with Garrett, even visited in hospital.
7: Question: Did Keyser know Garrett in HS?
8: Non-barking: Does Keyser recall a gathering with Garrett and Ford in HS? Maybe some details like the date? Like what house it was?

There's a lot of blame to go around, but much of it indeed does fall upon the "customers" -- the general public, and the underclasses, who do every imaginable gross and disgusting thing on the subways, and commit every kind of rudeness.
If the subway system if dirty, it was the customers who created that problem. Yes, it might be the administration's fault for "not cleaning it up" sufficiently, but there would be a mess if the public hadn't created it in the first place.
If you ran empty trains all day, and allowed no people into the system, would it somehow become covered in garbage and filth all by itself? No. It would remain pristine and clean.
If you ran trains all day and only the most prim, proper, non-littering, non-spitting nuns rode the trains, they would remain similarly clean.
But let in the New York general public, and boom, disgustingness everywhere.
If the trains are crowded and uncomfortable, perhaps the administration should run more trains. But if people on the existing trains were polite and courteous, it wouldn't be so bad.
If there is crime on the system, yeah the administration should have more crime-fighting policies -- but if human beings/"customers" didn't commit the crimes in the first place, there' no need for police.
So, from my vantage point, blaming the customers is not completely out of line nor untrue. It made be a rude thing to say, and may be an attempt to evade any responsibility, but I made say the same thing myself if I was in the administrators' position.

Everything you just posted is wrong. First, you don't want to live anywhere near Bourbon Street. The French Quarter has always just been a tourist trap, everywhere else is for locals. Second, Mardi Gras parades happen all over the city and every surrounding city. New Orleans proper is unique in that there really is no good or bad parts of town, every other street can be either good or bad. AirBnB has quickly changed the dynamic for the worse though.
I've given up on New Orleans but for purely personal reasons. Finally growing up had a lot to do with it.

BART has definitely gone downhill. Used to be futuristic and spotlessly clean, and crime-free. Now it's run-down, filthy, and sees a lot of crime.
And here's a shocking assessment of why:
The "customers" are substantially to blame.
That;s because about 10% of the "customers" are now homeless bums, and another 0% are professional criminals, and another 10% are thoughtless/rude/angry underclass type, and they commit all sorts of malfeasances.
Yeah, yeah, I could blame the administration, and there is some fault there, but the root of the problem is the people who stick the needles in the seats, who vomit on the floor, who leave their trash, who stab fellow passengers, who rant schizophrenic delusions at top volume, who spit and bleed and exude every bodily fluid everywhere. Maybe better policies could rein these problems in, but it is the general public creating them in the first place.

Depends on when you ride it. The LA rail system gets a ridiculous amount of traffic during rush hour. About two and a half years ago, they added fifty percent more stations to one of the lines (the Gold Line), but something went wrong with the additional trains needed to carry the additional traffic (MTA blamed it on a vendor screwup). It took MTA forever to get more trains added to the line. And in the meantime trains were essentially running overloaded to and from the central terminal.

Sam Walton started small but in time became an outlet for China goods, with their own power in DC (and NY, via Wall St). So middle America, even as their industrial base was being shipped to China, was having their (you DID build that) remaining income being vacuumed out of local commerce, and put into globalist/foreign investments.
And the 2Big2Fail/Jail banks were made even bigger after TARP, even after they caused the various bubbles (socialized risk, privatized profits). So mutual funds and the massive distant banks sucked most financial power into the control/hands of the coastal elite. Then DC decides which compliant states might get special bailouts or handouts ... Cloward/Piven on another level.
Investing locally becomes difficult, even more difficult when the competition is (enemy of liberty) China, who escapes all laws on slavery, pollution, consumer protection, etc. Buying American or local also is made difficult, not just because of economies of scale and new productivity, (Wal-Mart/Amazon, FAANGs) ... but because DC/NY policy has served the conglomerates in preference to American (liberty, heritage, culture) interests.
The dichotomy between worker and owner class is maybe greatest in NY (city) -- highest foreign born population combined with the globalist (leveraged) money centers. They import the service industry, and stack them up in tall structures. This is not a normal economy, nor an Americana culture.
"America is Being Extracted" decent rant years ago.

The opposite is true. If they were on foot, then yeah. Before Katrina all the housing projects immediately surrounded the French Quarter. Those were all torn down and everything went Section 8. There is and always has been muggings immediately off Bourbon but what downtown metro cities are safe to walk around at 3am? New Orleans is a lot more than Bourbon Street.

Rcp right now is 7.8. It was 9 yesterday but a couple of older polls fell off.

And yes I know, 2016 polling was wrong about Trump. But was right about the house and senate.generic ballot showed GOP win in both.

When the trains are running once every five minutes, you don't have much incentive to block the doors to get on.
When service deteriorates, and you are afraid that the next train may not be for thirty minutes, you have a lot of incentive to block the doors to get on the train in the station.
More to the point, this is Deep, Deep Blue New York - you know, one of those incredibly rich blue states that subsidize those backward red states.

The problem is a lack of character. I run on steps that go up to a "low-income" apartment complex. There is ALWAYS trash thrown on either side of the steps, even the day after my sons and I cleaned up the trash. Lack of character, coupled with low intelligence, leads to low income, and results in littering as a minor symptom of social pathology.

We shouldn't even be in a state where the media can take polls about who you find more believable, for the record I discount the poll like I discount most polls.
The stupid, incompetent, disorganized dysfunctional retard that alledgedly is the head of the Judiciary has allowed himself, the nominee and we the people to be bullied into giving A COMPLETELY UNKNOWN, UNVETTED, DEMOCRAT OPERATIVE, making vague decades old charges of sexual improprieties on their nominee.
To my knowledge, he has not seen the complete unredacted letter Ford sent to her representative and ChiDi leaked to the press, he has not directly talked to her, apparently no one on the GOP side has, no one on the GOP side has been able to depose her, and on and on.
So now the deposition is going to happen on live TV giving this woman the ability to slander and humiliate their nominee.
They have no Bio on this woman, they have no sworn affidavit, they have nothing.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THIS WOMAN IS!!!!

Yup! A++++++ for efficiency.
As to how they did it, no idea. But, they have it running like a well-oiled machine for sure.
Also, having multiple lines running in the same direction (until it eventually forks off) is very helpful in keeping things running. I am not waiting for one train. I am waiting for one of two or three or four trains.
Not sure if you ever got around to taking the driverless train, but man, that was a trip. It was just as efficient as the tube, it was kind of wild we were in some sort of remote control train.

Well, a judge just announced that this was illegal - that checking fares is a "dragnet search" prohibited under the Oregon constitution.
So, it is now illegal to check fares - currently, about 12% of people ride without paying, but I assume that will go to 50% in short order.
The Left is celebrating their latest victory over the Forces of Oppression - they seem to think that they can just wave a magic wand and raise transit taxes to compensate for the loss of fare revenues.

*snort*
One morning while riding the Gold Line in Los Angeles, a couple of transit cops boarded the train to check passes and make sure that everyone had paid. That's not particularly unusual. What was unusual this time was that a man who appeared to be of Hispanic descent refused to acknowledge one of the cops, a white male. His partner, a Hispanic female, came up and started talking to the man in Spanish. Then she had him fill out and sign the citation for being on the train without paying. And before she'd even finished turning away, he'd already torn it up.
Nothing happened.

And the majority of their employees are minorities with all that entails.
They've also removed 90pct of the garbage cans from the platforms and stations so shit piles up.
One of the more surreal experiences you will have is seeing the mass of people, overwhelmingly immigrants streaming down the stairs at Herald Square between the Subway and PATH entrances during rush hour, it's akin to those video's you see of cars navagating the choked and swarming streets and roads of third world India.
Often I have to go out the back stairs and go overland to one of the other PATH entrances to get to the PATH.

What you and Zombie wrote makes a lot of sense. When I was a kid, there was an interview with a mother in a tough neighborhood (Detroit? NYC?) While she was talking about improving it, boys were in the background, climbing onto young trees planted along the sidewalk and breaking not just the branches but the trunks. NO ONE stopped them. I was baffled. I cannot remember what my parents said about it except that I understood THAT was why the neighborhood was bad.

Booker: So, this committee is to believe that someone who listened to music that promoted a disregard for the law, laws which, by the way, prohibit violence against women and racial genocide? How do we know this man who sits before me did not brutally rape a 17 year old girl over hours in his friends home, then murder her and bury her body in a shallow grave in rural Cumberland county as ms Blakey will possibly alledge when she testifies? How can this same man show appropriate jurisprudence? How can we be sure that she wasn't your only victim?

Social isolates, illegals, dropouts, deplorables and others unlikely to be missed are routed via selective ticketing onto the 'kibble kars' and offloaded into the nutrient vats where they become additives for Malt 40's, Menthol Kools, Twinkies filling, and other EBT SNAP Card best sellers...

Anyway, while all of the escalator woes were happening, one metro official said that part of the problem was that metro riders insisted on climbing up and down the moving escalators, rather than just standing there. Because walking on the escalator puts extra stress on it. Or something. His comment was not well-received by the populace.
