although it may have been some people’s dream to live in the city, some of the not so glorious aspects show. Through the sleepness nights of drunkards wandering the streets through insomnia, there is alot of New York City that needs to be “repaired.”

to pinpoint on just one flaw of the city is tough. but the one flaw that does catch my eyes is the massive amounts of commuters pushing and shoving to get onto the trains. As the trains that enter the city slow down into the station, platforms filled with people in suits start shoving to take a small square foot of space in the train.

every morning, i take either the R,F,V, or the E train. keeping in mind that all these trains head to or near one of the busiest avenues of the city; Lexington ave. every morning, its hard to keep my composure from being squished onto the door of the train.

in the long term, the MTA did mention creating more lines that go to lexington avenue to prevent overcrowding. this would be very efficient to the commuters and the travel because you would be able to keep your cool since there isn’t much pushing and shoving to get on the train.
