What if, and you might need to sit down for this, we could expand transit beyond the city borders?

Then fix the problem there. Add speed bumps. Force turns.

Add gates at the crosswalks like railroads to stop the lance armstrong types from running the lights

I don’t know if it was just me for some reason but are the security guards at 590 Madison on some rent-a-cop power trip???
Was told that I “wasn’t allowed” to put my feet on a chair while I was sitting at a table minding my own. Asked the guard why to which he responded “I work here” as if that was justification.
Obviously with Privately Owned Public Spaces the owners are allowed to set some rules but that seemed excessive even to me. I asked where that rule was posted and the security guard pointed to a sign on the wall. The closest rule that seemed relevant said that you couldn’t place personal belongings on chairs or benches, but that’s a stretch.
I’m not gonna waste time on it and the folks across the street at 550 Madison in the other POPS literally next door were much nicer anyways. Just wondering if anyone else has had any weird experiences

Do it for any crime/misdemeanor/etc that has a fee punishment and you get plenty of folks snitching & earning in no time.

I use Google pay to pay for things. And I know, although it really wouldn't be that hard, I would mess up switching between cards on the google pay app. Don't feel like risking it.
Of course, my monthly metro card is cheaper than OMNY currently. When I have to make the switch, I'm hoping the OMNY cards are easy to find.

Actually, no, as the transaction comes up on Cash App as OMNY, and not MTA. I've tried with my own OMNY card and Cash App, and no such luck.

No one should be supporting bills that incentivize reporting other citizens to the government.

I have one as a disabled person. My reduced fare is tied to my OMNY card. Can reload with any credit card I want to.

> If you want people to die, make them do drugs in the streets. If you dont want them to die, provide harm reduction.
You think these people stop doing drugs once they leave th epremises of these sites?

well the subject ISNT crashes - the issue as detailed in this article is peoples behavior... and the fact that even in a place that has no cars people cant seem to regulate their interactions between biking walking running or just standing still.

Super! I'll check. I've been checking and have no luck. I wish we could just order from the OMNY site to have them delivered by mail.

- Because Westchester Bee-line doesn't accept phone payments yet, so we're still stuck having to use the Metro card.
- Bc using the omny card ensures that you're being charged the correct amount and not being double charged.

> The revised bill allows only complaints in Lower Manhattan (Community Board 1) and Downtown Brooklyn (Community Board 2) in the first year that it takes affect. In the second year, the area in which complaints could be lodge would expand to all of Manhattan plus Brooklyn community districts 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Queens community district 1, 2 and 3, and Bronx community district 1. (A map of community districts is here.) By year three, the entire city would be covered.
Why do we do this stupid, ridiculous, stuff

" The revised bill requires that the car be “unoccupied” when a report is filed, a change that is aimed at avoiding conflict."
-I see this provision being so exploitable. I was taking the q46 and saw a bunch of dump trucks on queens blvd bike lanes with their drivers inside, which according to this provision means you can't report them.

Guerilla groups that have to hide are now part of the culture in your mind? That’s like saying pedophilia is a part of American culture since it exists despite universal condemnation.

No, but guerilla groups are definitely a part of the country. which is distinct to that territory. & i never said any of those things are or have to be mainstream either.

Not everyone is on the BQE for the same amount of time. Before this bottleneck traffic was significantly better. It would improve traffic flow, period.

For $1.4 million a year, I can follow addicts around and report on where the drugs are coming from.
