Do you live in NYC? I don't expect these ports to last longer than 3 weeks. Wifi sure, but USB, charging stations are the exact opposite of what I want on a commuter train.
- parent5446 10y agoIf the USB ports at the Staten Island Ferry can still work (well, barely work, but work nonetheless) then I have faith these USB ports will last at least a few months. Although I don't see what that should have to do with me wanting to have them.
- potatolicious 10y agoFunnily enough, they just shut off most of the USB ports on the SI Ferry because passengers were literally fighting over them... I still feel like USB ports are one of those things that's really marginally beneficial.
- Overtonwindow 10y agoYou are an optimist it seems! I give it a week before someone either does something incredibly annoying or stupid with them, the system gets hacked through a USB port (because this is MTA afterall so of course the USB's are connected to a vital central mainframe system with no security), or it's used by peddlers selling crap on that platforms. That or the mob finds a way to install Jimmy The Idiot to charge you a quarter to use it. This is New York. If it can go wrong you bet your last nickel that rolled off the roof it will happen.
