From the MTA 13 point plan:

"Keep Employees Safe We're providing the highest levels of PPE. We're cleaning and disinfecting workspaces around the clock. We're continuing rear-door boarding. We're doing temperature checks, and ensuring access to diagnostic and antibody testing. "
So I guess it's still free if they're doing rear-door boarding

Trains are still stopped from 1am-5am. Train just went by and it was pretty full in some cars. I saw any emptier car and it looked like a person with lots of stuff so I'm gonna guess it was a homeless person in the car and people were avoiding it.

An emptier car could also mean a lack of air-conditioning!

I looked at the MTA website and can't find the reply as I only see information about the express & local buses being free overnight. So does anyone know if the Q70LTD and Q72 buses from LGA into Queens are free right now or not? My guess is that Q70LTD one usually pays in advance so one still need to pay and the Q72 is free instead of using the box near the driver. Can anyone confirm that?

No man it really pisses me off. People in the past made this an economically strong country and we are pissing it down the drain. And we have an ever-increasing attitude that people should be able to do whatever they want despite it being against the law and/or inconveniencing or hurting others.

This does not make me want to bring a child into this world. There's so many things being done out of either ignorance or spite these days.

We have people voting for candidates because of skin color or their gender alone. Like that makes a difference at all.

Nobody wants to take responsibility for themselves. We have people who have kids they can't afford, they want free lunches at school, they want free healthcare because their diet is S*** and they're unhealthy AF at 31 years old and you Seventhfloor should have to pay for it according to them, and then we got people who are just so fat and lazy they won't even go out and improve their own lives. It makes me sick.

And people like us (I presume you as well), work hard, play by the rules, don't ask anything of others and we get stuck paying for all the leaches on society.


The fact is, we have no idea WTF we are doing anymore and we are destroying this place because of feel-good policies and emotions instead of using logic and looking at things from a realistic perspective.

I only worry about what I can personally control.

Previous generations worked very hard to get to this point. Newer generations don't understand real struggle, they feel entitled to ipads and free government benefits as a basic right with very little understanding of how those things can be afforded
