I do alot of work in the subway system, and its insane how many people jump the turnstiles and no body even pays attention.

Unrelated but, have you ever worked in the abandoned City hall station in the old City hall loop?

Nope, but i know there are abandoned tunnels under the city that would be cool to explore (if I was armed). How about yourself?

Nobody needs 10 boolets to stop a fare evader.

Maybe they'll try the same approach on the Thruway.

Negative on that. I thought being that you had access, thought you might have. The building of that subway and everything related always fascinated me. and yes any kind of exploration especially these days would require “packing”

No they just increased the tolls. ~25% ezpass or 75% mail in.

Crazy that MTA is hiring private security when they have their own police force who should be handling this stuff.

Also funny that they don't say how much it's costing to recoup the fare revenue.

does it reallly matter how much it costs to recoup it...its MINE MINE MINE!!

usual govt stepping over quarters to pick up nickels sorta thing...it may cost more but its theirs!! and that'll teach em.
