MTA always prompts holiday cheer


Per a reader from our post earlier today on the nostalgic MTA bus and train:

MTA can take this feeble attempt at holiday cheer and shove it up its poorly-managed ass. What could be more pointless. The last thing people need from the MTA are acts of nostalgic whimsy. What they really need are trains and buses that keep to something that resembles a schedule. They need a transit authority that is at least well managed enough so as not to require a fare increase every other fucking year. This Christmas, eat shit MTA.

    way to go grieve

    and those select buses that come pretty often while the local never does - how about a few more locals?
    i could go on but it's all been said.

    "This Christmas, eat shit MTA."

    Ha ha ha! I saw this earlier, but for some reason, when I read the last line again it made me laugh out loud. Thanks, I needed that!

    Before you go busting on it (and I am the first to rip on the shit MTA), have you checked out the nostalgia train?
    I spent a good bit of time riding it on Sunday. For any NYC history nerd, the cars a very cool. The old ads are in tact, and hilarious. The details of the trains are actually quite beautiful in an industrial kind of way.

    Hell yes, I want better service w/o rate increases every six damn months. However, this was a nice little bit of history to enjoy.

    The "humor" in that post is worthy of a thirteen-year-old boy. Vulgar, unfunny, and dated. "Eat shit" was amsuing for one week in 1967.

    I made the original comment. I'm glad some people had a laugh even though I wasn't trying to be humorous. I'm genuinely angered by the MTA and its shenanigans; I assumed that everyone who depends on the MTA feels about the same way. Recently I gave up subways and buses in favor of a bike--I'm fortunate enough to have a pretty short commute, but my heart still goes out to everyone who has to depend on their services. This latest nostalgia promotion is a slap in the face to everyone who's been screwed by their increasingly erratic (and costly) service.

    @BaHa: That week in 1967 was my favorite week of all time. Thanks for remembering it! It was truly a magical week in a wonderful decade.
