What has the Train system come to ? I thought that as the years pass, everything evolves, and becomes better than it used to be. Well at least thats what my mom tells me. The only thing changing is the friggin’ fares for a ride ! I used to pay a dollar to ride the metro. Now I’m paying $2.25. Does it look like I’m made out of money ?! Besides, why should I be paying so much for system that can’t get a hold of itself. I’m not gonna lie, I am an optimistic person, but when it comes to the subway system of New York, my optimism is completely depleted.
I always and I mean always end up having to take that one train that has been running for 50 years. I can almost smell the stench of the countless number of bums that have occupied this train as it loudly approaches the stop. It would be so nice if the MTA could once in a while clean the train, whereas me sitting down in a white shirt won’t turn it into a gray one.
And the turnstiles! Is there absolutely nothing to replace them with!? I can’t stress enough how many times i’ve almost dismembered myself in half while running to catch a train. “Please Swipe Again at this Turnstile” …. Don’t tell me what to do ! What about all the people that hop these turnstiles? You don’t have to be an athlete to do that. I’m sure all these fare hikes bring in enough money to come up with a new entry system which doesn’t lack in efficiency.
The seats, the seats, the seats. I might as well sit on a cinder block if thats what you call comfortable. I know I’m not a small fella’ but would it be so hard to improve the leg room? I feel like I’m in a can of sardines during rush hour. If i can’t sit in peace for a one and a half hour ride where I’m not being felt up on, nudged, bumped into, then what is the purpose of the subway system ?
