The subway recorded it's highest ridership since 1950 (when the system was larger than today due to the Third Avenue el and other later-demolished el lines in Brooklyn).
Also of note is the success of combining the old M and V routes into the new M that connects north Brooklyn directly with Midtown. From the MTA: Quote:

Taxi of Tomorrow
Wasn't there a thread for this? Anyway... Here's some close up views of the new Nissan "Taxi of Tomorrow" at the auto show. Still think the Turkish bid should have one, or better yet a competent American one, had it existed.

Ugh . . . I'm going to miss the classic beat up yacht sized crown vics . . . those Nissans are tough to look at.

I saw these up close the auto show last week. Got a lot of bells and whistles to it, I'll say that much. |

I can't help but feel that this particular attitude is nothing more than an extension of New York City's endless and pointlessly bizarre feud with Trenton and Albany, especially after the ARC cancellation and Cuomo raiding the MTA transit lockbox again. |
^Hmmm. Sounds like a little unigov might help. But that makes too much sense so nevermind....

Things are really getting bad. Subway masturbaters in the past were much more discrete.
|
I've finally seen something that I have never seen on the subway (but which I have seen in certain restaurants): somebody smoking. I ran into an F train one morning only to be met with an acrid stench. Somebody was obviously smoking, and as I was moving through the car to get to the next car, I saw a guy sitting at the end smoking a clove cigarette.. But the weird thing is that there was a sizable number of passengers still sitting in that car who apparently didn't mind breathing in second-hand smoke, nor did they care to tell him to put it out.

Ill take smoke in the air over jizz or puke on the seat any day!
