This is where you messed up

Good point. Interested to hear if anyone from Charlotte thinks they have supported more benevolent legislation down there where I believe the HQ is....

The train is nasty. I hated the few times I needed to wear my best stuff on the train
The truth is that the train is gross not the suit.
Time to clean up the MTA rather than the rider.
Until that time one can stand while riding.

And pay $50 a day in parking Midtown?
Are you aware that not only high paying jobs require you to wear a suit?
Also it contradicts the same people who don’t really care about crime as they want to get rid of cars and implement that congestion pricing.
All in all it works well for the latter.

Has nothing to do with the bolded

I just don't like wearing suits on the train

I was the type to put my tie on at my desk, so to speak

Exactly, why advertise that I have any type of money

In my younger days, sure, but as I got older I did my best to look as bummy as possible on the train, I'm not riding it for fun. Its making yourself a target.

Wearing a suit is not "fly", wearing a pair of $1,000 sneakers and a bunch of gold chains with bling is "fly". People who have a suit dress code at work are more likely to need a $2.75 train ticket than a criminal ghetto trash that drives a Maserati.


In world-class cities of Asia and Europe, it would be absurd to even think of being unable to wear a suit on public transportation, or to be unable to walk after dark in the area of one of the top universities in the nation. Actually even in Boston, if you ride the T (the equivalent of NYC Subway) around 10:30 pm on Saturday on a train that stops at Symphony station, there will be a number of people in black tie suits and evening dresses entering the train.

One should never forget the "look before you sit" on any public transportation. The best defense to not sit on puke/pee etc is...to not sit on it.
