Can't tell you how happy I am that this now part of my past.
MTA always blames the passengers. And they're the ones with the loudspeaker.

The ruling elite officials blame the unwashed masses again ... wonder why they even suffer them the blessing of a subway in the first place.

They ought to turn the system over to the Taiwanese. We go over there once in a while. The trains are on time to the minute and ultra clean inside.
The train/ subway system under Taipei was a 4 yr project completed in 3 yrs and under budget. The rooms underground are beyond huge and tiled. built so well that big earthquake they had a while back only loosened a couple tiles off the wall.

This is what is known as “conditioning.”

They ought to turn the system over to the Taiwanese.You would need Taiwanese people to ride the New York subways to fix the problem. This is due to the New York riders, not due to the people running the system.

The NY system is very old. A book called
The World Beneath the City tells all about the history. Also the alligators in the sewers and other underground circuses.
Other systems, like the DC Metro, which I have used, are weirdly modern-looking to my eyes. All you need is a hole in the ground and a fast train, but it does have its aggravations.

I rode the Hong Kong MTR for 17 years. It is a good system but I have an issue with anyone saying they don’t like Mass Transit

Crowded and smelly?
This is NYC after all. What do you expect of a cesspool?

LOL, anyone ever take the Red Line in L.A. at night? It’s the homeless shelter in motion.

They don't have these kinds of problems with the people who use the Moscow subway:

It keeps them out of view, like in "Metropolis" or "The Time Machine" (Weinstein getting fed to the Morlocks).

NYC is a city of contrasts.
The newest stations in NYC are attractive:
The older ones, not so much:

Just take the title and put in a search engine...you should be able to find it somewhere where you don’t have the paywall.

"I have an issue with anyone saying they dont like Mass Transit"
I HATE mass transport.
It's associated with places that have pay parking. M/T doesn't typically allow dogs and then there is always the issue with bringing a significant amount of purchased mass back to the compound. So, it's not really "mass" transport in my experience.
