The solution is to come to work at a different hour than the 9-5 slot. It's so stupid that everyone has to get to work at 9 and leave at 5, the subways are empty after 9:30

Companies need to be flexible with time than forcing the same old 9-5 grind.

The most important question has not been asked or answered!

Where you going to go to pee or puke after a night out on the L back to Brooklyn?

The trains are designed to transit along curves and turns.

If they manage to do so in Seoul and London, I don't see why New York should be an exception.

The problem of too many people in too few trains will not be solved by cutesy red trim on the trains.


And what will be more annoying than a jackass with a backpack getting onto the last car and pushing his way all the way to the front car because that is closer to his destination's exit. Or a mariachi band doing the same thing.

This had been done before in NYC....the old BMT Triplex cars were articulated too.

I'm all for it. It should ease the issue of certain cars running empty while others are packed.
