The NYC Commuter Experience. F*&% it.
Apropos of the New Yorker article everyone is posting about, ”Inequality in New York’s Subway,” (which combines MTA map with recent census data) fuMTA would like to put in our two cents. Above are Google images of Sutter Avenue, the most impoverished stop in the MTA system (median income $12,288).  As we all know, the quality of train service has an inverse relationship to affluence. The first photo is a prime example, in which you’ll notice that the stairwell leading down from the elevated tracks is actually just a ladder that lands in a barely-disguised pile of scrap metal/syringes.  The subsequent photos provide further evidence that Sutter Avenue is isolated from economic opportunity (the train doesn’t ever arrive).  A myriad of churches are available for concentrated prayer aimed towards better, more affordable train service.   This may arrive with the second coming of Christ.

“Customers do change seats as seats become available due to passengers disembarking,” the report said, in language riders would be unlikely to use: “but seat-change maneuvers incur utility costs (movement effort, and risk of desired seat becoming occupied midmaneuver).”

To mitigate this risk, the authors found, riders must often “relinquish their current less-desirable seats in advance of busy stops” to better position themselves near to where “seat-turnover” seems more likely.

“We cannot fully explain seating preference,” the authors added; they “only can describe it.”

Proof that MTA “researchers” are actually robots conducting surveillance on how best to control the human population.

This is probably currently accurate.  Source: bootywizard: Police, MTA, Firefighters, and Medical professionals among other VIPS overtook Grand Central. From there they ‘enforce’ what has become the island of Manhattan, isolated after thermonuclear war this forcing it’s residents to live subterranean. This is my own creation, largely inspired by the novel Metro 2033.
