Actually this contraption which you’ll find at the Union Square subway station is a device for testing the quality of air in the subway. It was fun trying to think about various different things it could’ve been though. I think most people suspect it’s some sort of video monitoring or security device in the subway.

As far as I’m concerned there are only a few things that excuse you from walking excessively slowly through the subway. If you’re elderly, disabled, carrying heavy luggage or with a child.

Yep, two days after the comic about the fare hike it’s been approved. Monthly Metrocards are now $103 instead of $81, one day passes are $9.50 instead of $7.50 (I remember when they were $4) and regular fare is $2.50 instead of $2. The fare increase kicks in June, but the service cuts kick in [...]

At the 34th street station by the BDFV you can take either of the four from the same platform so sometimes I’m hurrying down the escalator and the guy in front of me will suddenly slow down because they realized it wasn’t their train. This irritates me a lot so no matter what I always [...]
