How stupid is the MTA?
This evening, on my way home, I was waiting for an R train at 36th Street in Brooklyn. A W came. The conductor made 10 or more announcements that the train was running on the R line. It’s an electronic display! What’s wrong with these people. Change the W to an R and nobody would be confused and the conductor wouldn’t have to constantly repeat that the train is running as an R. Too simple for them, I fear. And too logical. But am I surprised? I started with a rhetorical question, so I might as well finish with one!
