#NYC #MTA #MassTransit #Subways #Trains
I am old enough to recall when NYC subway cars had cushioned seats covered in woven rattan
iirc, a bit like this, but heavier material:

There's this woman, black and rather elegantly dressed and accessorized and also masked, who I sometimes see walking through the #NYC #subways (always Times Square?) at a fast pace with all the commuters, but she is PREACHING.
Calling out something in a high, loud, rather rough voice with I think a bit of Jamaican lilt.
And interestingly she is basically incomprehensible. 😁
I'm pretty sure she's speaking English; I think I've caught the occasional "be prepared" or "Jesus". But, even though she seems to be repeating herself pretty frequently, I've been unable to get even the general gist. One assumes, of course. But as far as understanding, her voice might as well be (somewhat strident) instrumental music...

At the TTC Board meeting on June 12, 2023, key reports presented the current and future challenges our transit system faces: This article reviews the Major Projects Update and more generally the TTC’s Capital Program and funding shortfall. In future articles, I will turn to the Operating Budget, subsidies and the changing environment for transit […]

TTC Board Meeting April 13, 2023
https://stevemunro.ca/2023/04/12/ttc-board-meeting-april-13-2023/
The TTC Board will meet on April 13, and the agenda for their meeting is rather small. Notable by its absence is any reference to the service cuts planned for May 7, 2023. The big items in the public portion of the agenda are the monthly CEO’s Report and an update on TTC’s finances and […]

Saw a #bart train car on a flatbed truck driving through Ohio. Long way from home.

When we get down to it, there's *lots* of reasons why we stopped building so many #subways.
Reasons we chose to avoid dipping in and out of the #depths so swiftly. We've just… forgotten why.

Starting today, #mask is no longer required on public transportation including #buses, #subways and #airplanes. The Korea Times captured the morning commute in #Seoul and it seems people are in no rush to take masks off.
