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. |

I nap on the subway all the time. It's gonna get harder if I have to stand up. People will still use the MTA. They'll just be grumpy.
I feel like there's gonna be a lot more rude people because of this. Normally, people who sit down don't get shoved around too much. However, if those people had to stand, they would have to feel what it's like to be in a sardine can and then have the atrocity to yell at others for "touching" or "bumping" into them during rush hour. |
