Strange how the existence of this article seems to imply that this is an unusual occurrence.

….no one here is doing that?

Lol, i’m typing. And you’re adding whatever inflection you want. Seems you’re itching to put someone down or get in an argument. I’m just wondering why everyone is falling for lazy headlines. Esp when Asians predominantly are attacked but white folks

but i digress 😂

Wow exactly the same age lol. Most of the stuff my mom would mention was doors opening in transit, lights going out, random stop and holds between stations and stuff like that. She said it was a hell of a lot less reliable.

She lived off the 123/BCK with my grandma and the DMQ with my grandad.

They did slow down the trains in the 90s after the union square crash in 91, and a lot of TOs go under the speed limit because a bunch of the two shot grade timers aren't calibrated well, but that was before I was born so I can't really comment on that.

And without the bodega cat :(

Maybe they're getting paid, but they're not working. Union rules dictate what certain people can and can't touch. For example, carpenters work with wood. If there's metal attached to the wood, they won't touch the metal because that's another union's job.

Everyone waiting around is waiting for their work to start. It's incredibly inefficient and VERY expensive.

Yep

You’re one angry miserable guy. I hope things stay this way for you.

That's such a stupid idea, honestly. There's no valid reason for that. They don't have the capacity to injure others or cause damage the way cars do, they aren't societal detriments the way cars are, they aren't difficult or dangerous to operate like cars are. By your logic electric wheelchairs should be licensed as well.

Do people regularly drive cars on the sidewalk?

Ugh I have been hoping mine will ban them but so far nothing.

You sure that wasn’t your SUV?

Solid commentary from someone with an actual job. Thankyou. People tend to forget this.

It will be the same again...you ever see 80s NYC? Thank god it got better. It will again.

No

the ratio of corporal punishment studies that say "don't do it" to studies that say it's OK is similar to the ratio with climate realists and climate deniers.

If your parents hit you they were bad parents. Look at their absolute failure on display right now in the form of your ignorant ass putting a lot of energy into defending hitting children.

E-bikes should need to be registered, insured, you should need a license, have to pay tolls, etc by that logic.

And what about the hundreds of car fires that happen every year? Cheap, poorly made batteries being unsafe isn't a valid reason to ban all ebikes. The city should do a battery swap instead. But even with those bad batteries, they're still causing an order of magnitude less damage than cars do. 1700 New Yorkers dead every year, countless more with permanent health issues or life changing injuries, noise pollution, damage to infrastructure, damage from crashes, lost business revenues, tons of wasted space, slower buses, etc.
