SUBWAY BLUES
I had to get off the A train in Brooklyn on my way home this evening. It took a while for me to figure out the reason for the delay except that some people were grumbling about some fire alarm. The MTA said not a zilch. Meanwhile, people anxiously waited for the next train that came 20 minutes later.
What else is new? What is wrong with the MTA this time? There have been so many incidents lately involving fire on the subway you begin to wonder what really is going on. The incompetent authority keeps on coming out with statistics stating how they have improved the general subway service. What service are they talking about? A disservice more describes this sordid state of affairs.
