Anyone who lives in NYC and uses the subway on a regular basis knows how shitty it is, and worse it's getting, and most of all, how f*in retarded the subway workers are. But I have to know... what is the average salary of a MTA employee? Primarily the train conductors and booth operators. Cause I wear, I keep hearing of all the money they make and all the benefits they receive and they're easily the most pissed off, cranky lot I've ever encountered.

They're cranky because they could only afford two luxury cars that month.

I can't believe have to spell this out...

You're telling me that you've never been in a situation where the subway workers, whether they be a booth operator or a train operator didn't know what the fuck was going on, had wrong information, or was just plain rude?

You've never been waiting forever on a platform with dozens of other commuters, only to get some announcement that the train is not on it's way or some other vital bit of info, but can't make out cuz the speakers is broken or the person just can't speak properly?

And that's just a small taste. And this goes for the 1, 2, 3, 9, N, R, Q, W, A, C, E trains.

man...i never had those problems....

usually i know what trains im getting on and where im going...i figure out all that shit before i get on a sub. and then if for instance...they have a the f train running on the e line...the train operator will usually repeat that the f train is running on the e line like 396939 times when u get on board and when u get off.

Only time I really had a problem and it really wasnt....was when the 7 going to main street was shut down at 74th...but i asked one of the guys working and he just told me to get on the 7 going to manhatten and take it to 61 and the get back on the 7 going to main street...and it was all good.

I dont know, maybe they are just rude to you? or maybe you ask them stupid ass questions?

thats the thing...its not them speaking improperly.....its whoever set up the speakers on the subs and in the stations is a Fuckin idiot.

lets take Grand central station for instance.....next time you are there...take note of the ground you are walking on and the walls. once you take note of that...then realize that the Speakers are ALL THE way up in the ceiling....so you get hella reverberation to the point where once it reaches your ears...it comes out sounding like the Teacher on Charlie Brown. Its not the workers fault, its whoever set up the speakers are idiots.
Same goes for the trains....the speakers just arent set up right. If you ride one of the New Subs....you hear everything clear cause I guess they finally decided to hire a audio engineer to set up the speakers which they should have done in the first place.

I really don't know how I can argue a point when you A) have magically never had any subway problems, which to me totally honest, I don't believe, to the point that I think you're either lying or are very lucky B) Have nothing better to do than act like a smart-ass.

.....

yea ok im lying.....

what problems have you had? seriously? if you dont know your shit before you get on a sub then find out. call mta...or check out the maps...it might be confusing trying to get to specific place but it aint that hard. i usually NEVER talk to the subway people or listen to them either. cause usually i figure out point A and B before i get on the train...and if there is ever some problem like the F on the E line thing i just spoke about above...il hear it cause the fricken operator will say it like a gazillion times.
