You mean MTA?
Is the MTA? Or MTV? I was so confused as to why MTV had anything to do with the Subway - Is that what it is called?
perhaps you mean the MTA
And? Yawn…..
love you perez
MTA, not MTV.
P, I know you mean MTA… and as a NYC res. I know this is crap.
that blows!!! its MTA not MTV tho lol got music on the mind?
The NY subway system is just a terrorist attack waiting to happen, so oh well. Glad I don't live there.
I think you mean MTA not MTV
there he fixed it.
That's going to hurt!
the MTV—ahhhh!
MTA SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm, by MTV you mean the MTA, right? I don't see how ending TRL would change my commute. The Z train and G train are pretty awful to begin with so who cares?
You surely meant to write MTA not mtv…doh!
MTA, big guy. But MTV is laying off people too!
MTA not mtv dumbass.
WTF
MTA Dipshit
perez, i think you mean the MTA (not the MTV)

Obama will fix everything
Color Me Badd was a male R&B vocal group which was formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, US. The original members of the group were Bryan Abrams (born November 16, 1969); Mark Calderon (born September 27, 1970); Sam Watters (born July 23, 1970); and Kevin Thornton (born June 17, 1969).
This will definitely affect us here in NYC. The trains keep the city moving!
sad
as long as it isn't the lex line…….
Re: DEXTER – MTV needs to shut down and reopen as RTV for Reality TV..they've fucking sucked ass for the last 10 years.
GOOD…!!!!!!

That will eliminate all those lazy asses workers who stand around doing NOTHING, but want more PAY for it.

Besides, they have no problem boooobama is here to save them….maybe….if…………….. he is an AMERICAN CITIZEN….LOLO
THE MTA PROVIDES HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! THEY CHARGE $2.00 EACH WAY AND WERE RECENTLY GOING TO CHARGE US NEW YORKERS $3.00 BUT THAT WAS NIXED. TRAINS ARE RARELY ON-TIME AND BUSES ARE USUALLY NEVER ON SCHEDULE. THEY WANT MONEY BACK FROM THE PASSENGERS THAT USE THE SERVICE BECAUSE OF BAD PROPERTY INVESTMENTS THAT WERE MADE ON BEHALF OF THE MTA. WTF??? NEW YORKERS NEED TO BOYCOTT THE MTA TRAINS AND BUSES IF POSSIBLE FOR A DAY OR TWO SO THAT THEY CAN SEE HOW MUCH THEY NEED THE RIDERS TO SURVIVE. THIS SUCKS ASS BIG TIME!
they are considering closing the W and Z line. I like the W! It gets me to work!
They should shut the whole thing down…It smells like shit…The stench of urine down there is amazing…It's overcrowded with dreck and base lifeforms…It's really one of the most vile mass transit systems for a modern, industrialized nation…It's 19th century technology is woefully slow…
ITS BETTER THAN HAVING TO FUCKIN PAY $3.00 A FUCKIN TRIP
MTA SUX
GOOD THEY ARE LAYING OFF WORKERS THAT SIT ON THEIR ASSES ALL DAY AND DONT HELP A SINGLE PERSON…..
Budget Crisis my ass! the ceo should get his ass kicked.
one of the most famous cities in the world, modern and cultured. The state of the subways are embarrassing!! the stations look and smell like shit. Overcrowded and there is always a problem. I just dont understand how they can make so much money (God knows they're not spending money on improving the system) and still somehow find a way screw over the working class.
grrr….
Re: Vince will Shamwow your ass – we're glad you don't like here too. .
This totally fucking sucks for someone living in NY like me, but some of their workers DESERVE to be laid off cause their ASSHOLESSSS.
NOOOO!!! There are enough train delays as it is, this is only going to make it worse!!
I agree with #31 and #35!!! The subway situation is a nightmare!!
If they get rid of the F line I'll cry… I already have to walk from the RIVER to that wretched hellhole on delancey 10 blocks away.
WHAT
gives me one more reason to obnoxiously push and fight with people
subway ride in NYC is a life experience…
I am so sick of the MTA. What ever happened to that book showing a surplus of money? Hmmm. Almost every day there is something wrong with the trains and they have the nerve to talk about a fare increase. If this shit happens I am totally boycotting. It will be walking or biking to work day. The subway is dirty, overcrowded, unreliable and inconvenient. Oh yeah and they are cutting back on service that is already shitty.There are still stations that you have to get off the train to transfer to another one and PAY AGAIN! because there is no underground transfer. We really need to stop taking this shit and if they raise fares boycott!!! As for laying people off, good if they do nothing we should not pay their salaries
This really isn't anything new, the Chicago CTA went through this just a year ago because of underfunding. We called it the countdown to Doomsday…..but at the last minute the governor funded it and gave seniors free rides.
hey maybe just stop all subways, fire all employees, and problem solved. It's only a matter of time before they stop 24 hr service, then only have weekday service, then…..
ugh I can barely afford my monthly subway card as it is. I hope they don't raise our prices…
