Why doesn’t MTA hire bouncers to protect the subways? People obviously don’t trust the police, and they’re too expensive. Some big ass bouncers on the trains could help keep things safe.

Yes.

The bougie part of the heights

He probably means on other, less-moderated platforms like Twitter etc.

Lock these fuckers up. Messing with a teenager like that.

I watched the one that was on the public freak out subredded and he kept saying on r211 which is what that train was

Who do you think taught those kids to hate?

Watch the video on Instagram, they repeatedly shouted "N word alert" (hard R).

Doesn't matter, Latin America is filled with confused people who cling to colorism to boost their self-esteem. It's a relic of colonialism/slavery thats still part of the culture. The common refrain 'mejorar la raza' (improve the race) encourages miscegenation with whites and lighter skinned Latinos to dilute Black ancestry.

ok, so send those to penn and there are plenty still to cover the gcm schedule

people looking for something to bitch about just so they can bitch about something

This type is attack is consistent with statistics but doesn't fit this subs narrative so it won't get thousands of upvotes and hArDwOrKiNg mOdEl mInOrITy comments.

As an aside, let those dumbass kids pop that stupid shit a few dozen blocks below in Harlem and see what happens to them.

oh that explains all the uniformed police in the station the last few days. ugh.

It's amazing you got so many upvotes when it's clear there isn't a single comment here that matches what you're saying.

The Anti-Asian racists in this sub need to stop self-projecting.

Yep, when I was going to college pre Covid (well about 10 yes ago) I used to ride it alone after midnight and never thought twice about it. definitely not now.

Typical government 🙃

Sounds about right

Yea. It’s almost like they realized they don’t need a unified fleet and this is perfectly fine. They plan to use the double deckers on some lines where they are useful.

Meanwhile the subway has incompatible platforms for its entire existence and the system has cars that can’t run on other lines too… but Gothamist won’t be critiquing that too loudly.

It’s just a piece to complain that MTA dollars were used for LIRR rather than the subway.

I thought only the diesel electric hybrids that take power from the 3rd rail can only go in the east river tunnel? Which I think the lirr has less than 10 engines that do that? The rest are pure diesel.

Weird article we knew this about the north tunnel already. Since the beginning of construction .

And some people want more nasty to snow to make it even more dangerous.

I dunno dude, I suppose its the question on whether you want to see this kind of shit in the news or ' 2 teens airholed by straphangers trying to break up fight between said teens '

I do not trust gun types to make these sorts of decisions. The police can be bad enough at it already. Anyone who's gonna carry a piece in the subway system is either already on their way to get into bad shit somewhere else or is going to be some herb from Westchester or Long Island who pisses their pants at their own shadow from time to time.

And, funny enough, the criminals who are already carrying on the subway don't really get into confrontations on said subway. It's odd, but that's how it shakes out. I guess they even know not to piss on their typical form of conveyance.

>The tunnel used by trains going to Grand Central Madison was completed in the early 1970s, but it's too small for the LIRR’s diesel trains. The tube runs between Long Island City and East 63rd Street, carrying subway trains on its upper level and LIRR trains on the lower level.

They from the same God damn island that shit is so fucking Ed

Ahh more waste of money by the MTA now they will have to order cars that fit which means more fare and toll increases for everyone else

I’m very much pro-2A, but a bunch of guns in a crowded city would only result in more death. It doesn’t matter how much you train someone. There’s nothing safe about using a gun on a busy train.

Yeah, I’ve lived here just about all my life, with exceptions for college and the military. The only time I’ve felt comfortable falling asleep on a train is during rush hour when the train was packed. I promise you that a young woman taking the train at night in the 2010’s wasn’t going to be falling asleep. Shit happens. And I think people are more concerned with the perception of safety on the subway than actual safety.
