the new york times has another hard hitting expose about the Metropolitan Transit Authority. turns out there may be some confusion about the ubiquitous emergency brake in every subway car.
when should it be pulled, what does it do, where does the bunny rabbit come out?
"We think that it is clear,” said Charles Seaton, a spokesman for New York City Transit.
An unscientific survey of riders seemed to suggest otherwise. Of 20 straphangers interviewed last month at the 14th Street-Eighth Avenue station, about half said that they had no idea when the brake should or should not be used. Those who knew that the brake should not be pulled in most situations seemed at a loss to explain when exactly it would be appropriate.
