People! The problem would be solved once we start paying $3 per ride! It's all our fault! And the cause of the fire? Shoot, does anyone here actually use the Atlantic Avenue station? That place is renovated and crap at the same time. A maze of stairs and tracks and seemingly constantly under construction. And that's the equivalent of Times Square in Brooklyn! Let's have one more major fire so the state and the city can shake up the stupid MTA once and for all.

Wow, Sucks to be the MTA. Lately, they can't seem to get a break...

Maybe with the $710 million from the West Side Yard sale, MTA can finally install sprinklers in the substations. I was curious about what was causing all these fires in the subway [average is 4 / day]. Found this on google: Fragile Subway System. Interesting read.

is anyone going to mention that the A and C were out AGAIN due to a "police investigation" so we were told to use the 1, along with the rest of the west side...add that to the 2/3 confusion and what a nightmare.
