For the past week or two, Heather Haddon and various members of the press have been writing about how transit booth clerks can save US from terrorism--the same "workers" who justified allowing RAPE---

An MTA agent who worked at the Queens station where a young woman was brutally raped Friday defended the token booth clerk who did not rush to her aid.

Station agent David Chance said transit employees are trained not to leave their booths for fear of a ruse, and do not have an outside line to dial 911 underground.

"He would have been foolish to go out there," said the 24-year MTA veteran.

The MTA has a long history of cowardice, hence the



to protect these parasites...Rep. Bernie Thompson [D-Miss.], chairman of the homeland security committee seems to think that "A human presence is important for securing an open transit environment."

Station agents are usually on the phone oblivious to their job & surroundings.

Yesterday, an E train at 18:24 was stopped because of someone walking between cars [this would go on to become one of those legendary police actions you hear of].

The motorman gets on the P.A. to announce that the train will not be moved [because of this ], and so the police are deployed to the station for some stupid shit like that--native NewYawkers been walking between cars since they were toddlers, and now the Transit Nazis wanna inflict some new world order on US???

YouTube CENSORSHIP for the MTA

NEVER in my wildest imagination did i think that you'd have to go to one of Rupert Murdoch's companies to be heard

YouTube, a subsidiary of the almighty purveyors of Free Speech---Google---been blocking my anti-MTA videos all of a sudden...like this one.

As I said in the above post, contrary to what Ms Haddon, and now U.S. Rep. Bernie Thompson [D-Miss.} contend...token booth clerks ARE NOT a watchdog for potential terrorists---when they're not bullshitting on the phone, they are either entertaining other transit "workers in their booths, or they're sleeping---THOSE videos are on the way

Is he counting money and yapping on the phone at the same time? That's a lot of cash, by the way. Dude probably sells dope on the side. Perfect location to do it.

Walking from one car to another was perfectly fine until they changed the rules in 2005 or so. I've seen a lot less of it in the last year than previously. But stopping the train?!

Do we have any evidence if this is a new MTA policy, a single motorman being stubborn, or some kind of union "enforce the letter of the law and make it painful" tactic?

No access to dial 9-1-1???? No excuse for that at all. None.

GLAD to see this isn't a soliloquy any longer...the MTA is informed of every post i make here, and they've been silent so far!

64 days more outrageous than 41 shots?

Yesterday it took almost an hour to get from First Avenue and 14th to 59th Street and Eight, so yeah, I was in the mood for spitting on a transit worker...thing is, in the 'hood you spit on somebody you're either looking for a broken jaw or you're gonna stomp them silly if they ain't a straight up punk..and if they're the latter then you're just a punkass bully

“You can spit on me for that!” joked bus rider John Locantore. “It’s obviously a disgusting thing that shouldn’t happen, but 64 paid sick days is unbelievable.”

Compare that with city correction officers who patrol city jails where, “I’d say about four or five times a month” a guard will be hit with blood, urine, feces, or sometimes a disgusting combination of all three,” said Norman Seabrook, president of the NYC Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association.

As the Metro article goes on to say, “I’ve seen our officers take off a couple days here and there, but I know we don’t take an average of 64 days.”

This story has appeared in every NYC newspaper that i saw yesterday..didn't see the New York Times, but a Google search confirms that they covered it too, and as you can see, the public thinks this is way beyond the pale

So with idiotic service cuts less than a month away, Jay Walder and his circle of sycophants are gonna throw the city into Überchaos instead of taking money from the Yuppie Lines, 7 extension to Javitts Center and the Second Avenue line [which has been on the boards for almost a century].

The New York Post hasn't even shifted their anti-transit diatribe "journalism" into second gear yet, so as the temperatures raise and the rhetoric hits Tea Party fervor, guess who's gonna get hit with the public's ire???

Well, today's gonna be 94 degrees...better carry my camera in case a transit worker gets a beat-down

I can't believe this--am I reading right? Sixty-four sick days? Teachers get 10 a year and they are around sick kids all the time. That's incredible.

I totally hope I run into you one day, EminemsRevenge... I think it would be an interesting meeting (in a good way).
