MTA: 150 Subway Stations Will Get Digital Train Timers

• the mta is completely corrupt and inept and mismanaged. per the FOX news story on March 8, 2010 about their now installing TIMECLOCKS in many/all stations, as the featured MTA Board member himself said, and many riders agreed, it is a WASTE OF MONEY. Whether the clock is there or not, we have NO CHOICE but to wait for the next train. And the MTA says they are putting in the clocks because NYC 'deserves world class subway system"?! Please. Your psychology ain't gonna work on us. Some stupid clocks will do absolutely NOTHING to change the fact that our subway is the furthest thing from 'world class'. Can you say TOKYO METRO SYSTEM?! Spend the money on more trains, speeding up the bus boarding process, more stairwells in the stations as during rush hour many stairwells are IMPASSABLE, fix the stations that are literally CRUMBLING and raining on us whenever it rains out. THEN we can talk about some stupid $20,000 CLOCKS! Morons!! And indeed, they DO have us by the cajones, and they know it.

• "Numbered lines will get theirs before the lettered lines" ...because those are tourist-centric, like the 4-5-6. "and stations north of 149th Street in Manhattan will be among the last to get them" ...because folks living there are mostly minorities, so there you have it.
