MTA jerks

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is looking to lay off hundreds of New York City subway station agents, revising an earlier plan under which they would have been allowed to retire, according to two people with knowledge of the plans.


The layoffs are to be announced on Tuesday, along with cuts to the authority’s administrative and managerial staff, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the revised plan had not been formally unveiled. (via)

i just want to know, if they lay off all the station agents, to whom am i to turn when i swipe my metrocard, slam my pelvis into a locked turnstyle, am asked by the computer to swipe my card again, and then told i "just used" my swipe, like what happened to me yesterday.

if it wasn't for the station agent who opened the gate and let me in, i would've been waiting there for 19 minutes. this is not the answer, MTA.

but with no station agents, you'll be able to jump the turnstyle you 'just used'. right? just sayin'.
