Problem: MTA should operate more efficiently, they should have the train schedule at every stop (i.e. 6 train, 1,2,3 train).

Communication Tools: Change.org , Facebook, Twitter.

Pros:

Change.org – it is easy to use for us to start a petition to get MTA to make adjustments

Facebook – we can use it to spread the message and share the link to change.org to make people more aware of the event and sign the peition

Twitter – can be used on updates for the events should be free

Cons:

Change.org – petition might not work

Facebook/ Twitter – The population of Facebook is declining and people might just scroll past it without looking. Also even if people were to view the event they might not sign the petition. It will take MTA  a long time to create the app. A big problem for social media such as Facebook and Twitter is not everyone has one or does not check it frequently.

-Other forms of social media/communications are not as useful. For example Emails sometimes go to spam and people just delete it. People also have various Email accounts. Instagram, snapchat, myspace and many more are not as useful because it is picture or video orientated which is not as affected. Also other media’s population have already declined.

In the past without social media:

-We can give out flyers

-Pester people on the street with peition

-Protest/riots

-radio/television: commercials or podcast

-overall word of mouth
