If you're listening to music on headphones on the subway in NYC you're almost certainly going to be dealing with hearing loss later in life. Noise down there is super crazy.

Bus service cuts.Talk about a death spiral. This is one area of MTA transit policy where the mayor can take the blame. https://t.co/THEeu0OaJT— Second Ave. Sagas (@2AvSagas) May 20, 2019

We suspect someone has intentionally disrupted thousands of commutes on the 2/3 lines today by activating multiple trains’ emergency brakes. If you see any suspicious behavior, please @ or DM us details ASAP, including car #, so we can get trains back on schedule.— NYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) May 21, 2019

favorite morning headline typo:
The MTA is on the hunt for the "idiots" who are pulling emergency brakes on subway trains, snarling tush-hour commutes.

This person has an established M.O., the source said, and Jalopnik confirmed this by reviewing internal incident reports. There are at least three so far.
The suspect disrupts service primarily on the 2 and 5 lines from Flatbush Avenue in central Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan. He climbs aboard the rear of the train as it departs a station, unlocks the safety chains, somehow gets into the rear cab, and triggers the emergency brakes. Then, he disappears, most likely through the subway tunnels and out an emergency exit.
Despite striking on average once a week for several months, the person has not been caught.

Classic or dud: platform-standing people who are not getting on the current train but nevertheless form a World Cup level wall before the door.
― Vini C. Riley (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 23:26 (four years ago) link
one of the biggest duds, next to people surging, in wall formation, into a car the instant the doors open, nevermind everyone trying to get the fuck off.

Perhaps with the additional ingenuity of displaying strappy backpacks for any loose cords to catch on as you round the wall.

Not as dud as the entire BART where people form a line at the future location of a yet to arrive train that blocks the entire width of the platform.

That seems similar to the experience of trying to dock a bike - or undock it- when people are lined up for the ferry.

I have an, um, soft spot for the types who sort of accelerate and sneakily jockey for position to be the first ones into the car, then decelerate once they are past the door while they size up the situation to decide where they want to sit.

Here's a key part of the report.Congress ordered a study of why the US wastes billions by spending 5x as much per mile of subway track as every other country in the world.The @USGAO interviewed track builders who told them that cost comparisons are hard.

The MTA hired three firms to clear subway drains. Two donated to Cuomo’s campaign during the same period, including a fundraiser at a luxury suite at a Mets game.We look at the governor’s donations from MTA contractors with @jdavidgoodman @agustin_NYT https://t.co/sGgPrnWpL3— Emma G.

i switched back to a backpack abt five years ago on physical therapist's orders. but they also told me i should have no more than seven pounds of stuff in there... so once i throw in my planner, pen, camera, maybe a cell charger and a hoodie for if i'm going to some ice-cold interior, i'm pretty much done. on days when i'm teaching, i have my tablet and a little notepad and i can feel the extra weight in my lower back. and i still am hyperconscious of taking up train space.
