It’s unclear how much Comedy Central paid for the takeover, but MTA officials said they hope to open up their public service announcements for more sponsorship opportunities in the future.

howbout when there are two trains opposite each other, and there's a HIGH VOLUME announcement that "this train" is going express, so loud that you can't tell which train it's coming from

The 70s & 80s, now in living color on a subway platform near you. A true sign of decay, one that we worked so hard to eradicate decades ago. The taggers had plenty of time to cover this entire train, because they know there are no more consequences. #backtothefuture pic.twitter.com/7uWmg8YdzU— NYC PBA (@NYCPBA) January 21, 2020

@AlexandraErinIf you think allowing a broken window to go unaddressed encourages lawlessness, I invite you to consider what happens when we let the cops get away with murder.

One of the MTA's enduring problems is retaining top tier talent; not just at the top, but entry level, too. So many young, talented people want to work for the New York City subway system. Very few stay. Today was a very public window into why. https://t.co/9O4mV2T30B— Aaron W. Gordon (@A_W_Gordon) January 23, 2020

The proposed line that goes from Bay Ridge to Astoria sounds pretty great (though I won't have kids to enjoy it considering how long it takes anyone in the MTA to do anything other than raise fares).
― Yerac, Friday, 24 January 2020 18:59 (four years ago) link
i imagine if you had kids, their kids might see that line but i wouldn't put money on it.

When they set fire to dozens of metro stations on the first night of protests in santiago people were speculating that it was coordinated. OH YOU THINK???

This is packaged and framed up as a story of two big egos colliding but the narrative is just about Andrew Cuomo being an asshole until the highly competent MTA chief got sick of dealing with him https://t.co/oXSW9PWmLD— Tom Scocca (@tomscocca) February 3, 2020
