I can't ride the subway anymore, it's a total disaster. It takes at least 50% longer now to get anywhere, and that's with having to deal with the overcrowding, urine/vomit stenched cars, broken A/C, misinformation over the loudspeakers.
This guy Cuomo is asleep at the wheel. I mean DeBlasio is awful, but Cuomo is starting to give him a ride for his money. All Cuomo does is show up at grand project press conferences that will never get built or funded and showboat because he wants to play president in 2020.
I mean for f***'s sake, he wants to be president and he can't even run his own State? Somebody please get this moron out of office, put him in jail or something

The subway has always been like this, and if you can't deal with this don't live in NYC. Or stay and buy a car and drive.
They waited this long to fix the aging system they haven't even begun major renovations to the most busiest lines yet. Transplants have no idea how bad it can get later on when either a disaster happens or they start shutting down the busiest lines to begin the major repairs. They delayed a lot because in the 90s NYC didn't have as much money.
They should've done the repairs back then but now it is too late and population almost doubled. If I were starting a company I would relocate away from NYC. In 5 years they will announce a major renovation project somewhere in midtown or around Penn Station that would cause major headache.
Enjoy NYC while you can, soon it will zombie land when clueless transplants and tourists swarm the streets for Uber and buses.
I'm glad I don't live here anymore, paying outrageous taxes to pay for outdated infrastructure. If it takes 30 yrs to constantly repair BQE, there's very little hope the subway can be repaired quickly.

You're clearly not from around here if you think the subways have always been like this. Of course if you're comparing things to the 70's/80's then that's not much of a standard to base on
Oh please. I mean, you have it great now in comparison with the crap we had to put up with in the 70's and 80's!
lol what a joke - go ahead and set the benchmark to the 70's. Meanwhile we are 40 years later and NYC has grown and progressed, and we are a global competitor to London, Tokyo, Paris, Shanghai, etc.. The new benchmark is trains that are relatively clean, run relatively on schedule, and don't break down. We were doing a decent job over the past 20 years and things were generally getting better. But in the past year or so things have been rapidly going downhill. Things are getting a LOT worse (70,000 delays/mth vs 22,000 in a five year span) .
The current subway is not functional nor adequate for a world class city. I don't care about shiny marble/metal stations and the latest technologies for everything, the trains just need to run properly. Not too much to ask.
But please keep telling us how cool you are because this is nothing compared to when you were a trailblazing toughgirl
loooooooooool
