Pretty cool to see him ride the subway, he probably hasn't done that in like 15 years or so.

 

Probably a publicity stunt to promote mass transit usage to the Arena.

Last show? Meaning Jay-Z's last performance?

Cool campaign.

How much did the MTA pay him for this one?

 

Or maybe it was Forest City trying to get people to take the train to the arena, well someone's got to get through to the people from the suburbs (especially Jersey) who won't set foot on public transit for shit and make sure they know that they're not gonna be able to park here.

If the MTA paid him to do this, he probably will brag about how much they paid in a song in the near future

 

I think its the latter, they just trying to get people to ride public transit to the Arena, also Beyonce was at the concert last night and performed a couple of songs but she didn't ride the train with Jay though. And she ridden the train a couple of years ago in midtown.

He shoulda rode the subway for ALL of his performances there. That would have been a better example to the public.

Wow what a surprise.

Dont forget about "King" Bloomberg reguarly(during non emgerncies) still use the Line reguarly. Also some ballplayers (not mega celebs like Derek Jeter though)on the Mets and Yankees use it.

 

And Not household name Millionarie Bankers/CEOS use the subways during work hours. Finally i cant find links but Hollywood celebs have also used them.

Oh, I thought his last performance and his retirement from music.

I thought I saw him last Monday as I was taking the train from Livingston St back to my in-law's in Bensonhurst. Then again, I don't follow that garbage music, so I wouldn't know.
