I’ve lived in Nyc on and off my entire life. The train’s are completely utterly normal, everyone has just become impatient and whiney. You’ve always had to plan extra time, there’s always been an unmanageable mix of politics, the Unions have always been Riddled with negotiation-PTSD and can’t give an inch anywhere for fear of exploitation, the governor has always siphoned money away to pay for other things, all of this is the same old shit. It’s never gonna be whatever suburban mall everyone is comparing it to, nor will it be like other major urban areas whose transit systems were built decades or half-centuries later.
Chill out and ride the train. It’s a good excuse to be late that nobody can argue with.
- untog 9y agoEvery piece of data we have disagrees with you. They all show that train reliability has been tanking and on time performance has suffered as a direct result.
- joekrill 9y agoThat's an outrageously flawed thought process. Just because it's been that way for a very long time, doesn't mean it's a good thing and that it shouldn't be fixed. By that logic, a child who has been abused their entire life should be fine with it -- it's "utterly normal" for them. It's always been that way. They just have to plan for the beatings.
