QUOTE Getting a seat on a New York City subway is not always easy during rush hour. But it will soon be impossible on some cars. http://wcbstv.com/topstories/seatless.subw...s.2.883635.htmlYou're probably used to standing on a subway car anyway, but what if your subway car had no seats at all? You could find out soon. Hey... it's not like it's ever really easy to get a seat on the subway anyway. [...] But what about subway cars with no seats at all? Behold what could be coming to your commuting future. [...] "Seat-less" subway cars are coming. The seats will be locked in the upright position during rush hour to squeeze in 18 percent more passengers. [...] [B]y late next spring the MTA will be rolling out a train where four of the 10 cars will have flipped up seats during rush hour as part of a pilot program to ease the overcrowding. The NYC transit system is probably one of the best in the world but this dumb ass idea is going to decrease its quality. |

http://wcbstv.com/topstories/seatless.subw...s.2.883635.html The NYC transit system is probably one of the best in the world but this dumb ass idea is going to decrease its quality. They must have gotten this brilliance from us and the CTA so this is what will happen in New york: 1.People will say wtf and why? NYC transit will be all like BUT ITS SUCH A GOOD IDEAAAAA but what do we know we never ride on the subway. 2.This idea will backfire causing the number of people to use the subway go to go wayyyy wayyy down. 3.Then the NYCTA will be like LOL WUT and see how they can make money for the loss.You see what these idiots dont realize is it takes more money to remove shit then to just leave it the f*ck alone and be happy and grateful. But NOOOOO instead they will just up the fares by 5-10 percent to the people who still are using the subway and the buses and whatever to make up for the losses that the no chair stunt. 4.HALF ASSED PROFIT!!!11!!1!!!!1 |
