Boycott the Greedy MTA


This time the MTA of New York City has gone too far. In the type of economy we are in the most affordable mode of transportation will soon be the most expensive. Sure this has been in the works for awhile, but many people thought that it would never happen..especially with so many people losing jobs every single day.

What's even more criminal then a $103 dollar monthly pass is the cutting of service, so now we are getting less for more..does this make sense to anyone else?

So I think it's time New Yorkers got a little payback - I mean we've had our service cut thanks to an MTA strike not too long ago (and the reason for that was money too)
The MTA seems to think they can take advantage of their passengers just because we actually NEED their service - Let's show them how wrong they are on June 9th (the day the fare increase is scheduled to take place) - do not take any MTA service unless you can't avoid it...That's right we are boycotting the MTA. Take a bike, walk, or hell even drive to work (It'll actually be cheaper after the fare hike).

It's not all bad news..even an MTA exec is telling us we should boycott.

If you are interested in participating in the boycott..leave your comment or you can contact the organizer of the event at saynotomta4@aol.com

It's been awhile..but I have a story to tell

So I haven't been here blogging in awhile, mostly because I got fed up with the morning commute and started getting a ride into Manhattan every morning. Unfortunately this week I had to take the subway (Ahhhhh!!!!!)

Monday the day with all the snow..ya that day I took the subway and I was sitting in one of the disability seats on the 4 train..the ones that fold up..well I had the seat to myself and some lady comes on the train, places her Duane Reade shopping bag on the 1 inch of space of the seat I am in and proceeds to take off her gloves, blow her nose and pick her eye crust right on top of me..I was furious, wtf!!

This lady seemed like she was in her 50s and should know better, but no the continued ignorance of subway riders continues to amaze even me...I should be used to it by now - I guess.

What is the worst subway ride you ever had?
