I worked for a major transit bus company in the 90’s.
Tasked with diagnosing rear wheelchair lift problems,
me and two other engineers were flown to NYC. At a
downtown terminal, we started our investigation. The
electrical signals to the servos were acting sparadically.
There was a strong oder of urine eminating from the
stepwell area that comprised the wheelchair lift. We had
a tech drill some holes from underneath into the c-channels
of the wheelchair lift steps. About a gallon of urine
drained from the holes we drilled. Passengers were
relieving themselves in the rear stepwell.
When lunch time rolled around, we were escorted by
body guards to grab a slice of world famous New York
style pizza, directly across the street. There’s
absolutely no way would I even consider living in
the big apple. I can just imagine what their subway
cars are like.
Can imagine the subway
10 years ago my 9 year old son thought the rats fighting each other was pretty cool, he said they are hitting each other like girls fighting.
Having worked in NYC in the 70’s and 80’s I can tell the New York City subway system is the worlds biggest underground toilet.
I ride the NYC subways quite frequently. They are remarkably clean given the fact that 5.5 million people ride the subways each weekday. That’s more people than the population of Los Angeles.
