Those are very cool watches. Where can we get them?

My 45 minute commute took an hour and a quarter. If that's smoothly, then the MTA has some pretty damned low standards.

I take the 6 and I can say for sure there's been an increase in the crowding these past two mornings. Overflow from impatient 4/5 riders, perhaps? Whatever the reason, it's making the 2nd Avenue limited bus look much more appealing than it usually is.

Fulton St Station on the weekends is always full of confused and pissed off people trying to get home. At least there always seems to be an MTA employee around to direct people to the J train or some other alternative. Poor folks.

This is insane! These trains are congested with people as it is and are widely used. This is going to make the waiting even worse and we are all going to be packed as sardines even in non-rush hour hours. Remember what happened in late 2004 with those massive delays? Utter chaos!

Sloooooow. There's just constant traffic in front of each train.
