Brighton Local Posted December 16, 2007 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2007 Coney Island Bound Trains via West End Express between 9 Av and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue A T.S.S. stopped me at 4Av/9 St on the for photographing. I had told him that it clearly states in the MTA Rules of Conduct (which I always carry on me) that photography is permitted. I asked him if he would like to view the Rules, and without hesitation Quickly answered, yes i would. He looked at it so closely, as if he thinks I typed my own words in there. End result, he said with a deep voice (because i proved him wrong; not in a bad sense, just showing him what is lawful) ' ok sir, have a nice day, just be careful'. So I said thank you, and departed the one stop north at Smith-9th Sts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOB2RTO Posted December 16, 2007 Share #2 Posted December 16, 2007 I'm surprised that the employees still don't get it yet. Leave photographers alone as long as they aren't interfering with service. It's been said too many times that it is legal to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

error46146 Posted December 20, 2007 Share #7 Posted December 20, 2007 nice job with the photos! and too bad you got yelled at for taking photos, those idiots still can't get it through their thick heads it is ok to take photos in the subway. and you are lucky you don't get yelled at, i got yelled at 4 TIMES (once by t/o, once by conductor, twice by cops) in the period of 5 months (Jan-May 2007). luckily, after that second time with the cop i haven't been bothered, and i hope it stays this way too.

Harry Posted December 26, 2007 Share #17 Posted December 26, 2007 Isn't commuter and passenger rail the same thing? I ask because in the gallery I see both. New Jersey Transit is a state-wide passenger rail system which of course people use to commute to and from Manhattan. Amtrak is the nation-wide passenger rail system. LIRR and Metro-North are the commuter rail with just access to city and back. They could mean the same I just think its more proper to seperate them for what they really are.

Pablo M 201 Posted December 26, 2007 Share #19 Posted December 26, 2007 Those systems though have different rules on photography right? They all allow it. I think the no use of a tripod is common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
