First, I think a $1000 for a lifetime seat pass is too much and second, I cannot see people giving up their seats at rush hour to a "pass holder".

 

Maybe this story is just a joke too.

Sounds so unrealistic...and makes no sense too. No sources or specific people either.

I'm disappointed. I read the title of this thread, and I was sure I was going to get linked to a hilarious Onion article. This was just some poor attempt at mimicry.

 

No way this is real, and no way this ever actually happens.

If this story is true, why stop with "coach" seat personal licenses.

 

Convert the subway car which the conductor rides in to a "FIRST CLASS" car with LIRR style seating. Charge a $5,000 fee for the personal seat licenses and $200 a month for a GOLD METROCARD pass with their picture on it (Like the half-fare reduced metro cards for seniors).

 

All other (poor) passengers would ride in the regular subway cars.

Not News, it's not real.

 

It's obviously a gag, if it were real. there would be information on geting one.

 

 

I would never even give anything that place posts a second look, thier biais is so bad, they make the Times look like the Post.

 

Correct. This is not news. It's on par with Onion Network News.
