Hello 2nd Ave. Subway Discussion Forum.
I'm delighted that Cornell University Press just released my new book, titled "Last Subway: The Long Wait for the Next Train in New York City."
Last Subway reveals the dramatic story behind the Second Avenue subway and explains why the city’s subway system, once the best in the world, is now too often unreliable, overcrowded, and uncomfortable.
You can learn more about it at www.plotch.com, Cornell Press, or Amazon. If you get a chance to read it, I'd really like to hear what you think. My email is pplotch@saintpeters.edu
The book's launch event is free and sponsored by Open House New York and the Transit Center. See TransitCenter for more info. Unfortunately, all the tickets were taken minutes after they were made available online. However, you can watch it online.
