I agree too, they need to create an enhanced system to make the process more efficient.Allison Davishttp://newyork10.cityspur.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-75370996777044269132009-03-30T00:35:00.000-04:002009-03-30T00:35:00.000-04:00Saturday morning I had to take the train from Broo...Saturday morning I had to take the train from Brooklyn to Randalls Island for a rugby match. No biggie, just hop on the Q. Oh wait, local stops in Manhattan. Ok, get off at Atlantic Ave, I need to take the 4 anyway. Problem there. 4 arrives on the 2 line. No signs anywhere. So I have to hoof it to get to the other side before the train doors close, which requires going down a flight of stairs and up another flight.<BR/><BR/>Was no problem for me, for I am somewhat athletic, but what about elderly people? Oh well, they have nothing better to do anyway right?<BR/><BR/>Can I say how much I hate trains with the long benches? It seems they never have an available spot. I prefer the older trains. At the end of the day I pray that the older Q train arrives at Canal St. instead of the newer one.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the MTA should create a system similar to London. As in, if you are travelling through certain areas, the price increases. Of course, that would also require that you swipe your card twice (which they do in London).Highly Effective King Clovishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653858157695141774noreply@blogger.com
