Public Transportation

This one is for anyone who lives in a city that requires a large amount of subway and bus use.

I live in NYC and every morning I take the one train from 86th and Broadway and have to ride it all the way down to Rector Street which is at the tip of Manhattan. Every morning I am hurded into the subway by people in suits, students with backpacks and old people with canes! Once I am on the train, I am then pushed into the middle of the car where ten thousand other people are gasping for air and some room. I understand that the subway is great because it is supposed to cut down on traffic but there is still traffic, pedestrian traffic and that is even worse. People are constantly violating your personal space and people touching you when they are sick and giving you their germs is not better than bumper to bumper traffic.

If the people on the subway doesn't make you annoyed enough, how about the fact that public trans is already expensive and if that is not enough, the city transit authority finds it necessary to raise costs and cut down service. Does this make sense to anyone else? I understand the economy for the government in America is not the best but how do they have the gull to charge more for less? Is that a joke? The unlimited ride in NYC is currently at $89 a month. The city is now increasing it to $104 a month and cutting down on service such as train operators and trains in general. Which means more people on the subway which means more pedestrian traffic which equals more uncomfortable situations on the way to work.

Thank you public transportation for totally abolishing the concept of cheap and efficient transportation.
