R32 3348 11 Posted August 9, 2008 Share #12 Posted August 9, 2008 I stayed at roosevelt Avenue for half an hour today taking pictures. Most of the trains were R46, and had prolonged dwell times because people kept holding the doors asking if was an train. Same goes for when an R32 train came. HOLY CRAP WILL YOU READ THE F#@KING SIGN IT'S NOT THAT HARD. AS IF A GIANT BLUE DOT ON THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN DOESN'T HELP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens a lot on most major subway stations, especially if a type of subway car that the line's not using regularly appears on it. Like what you stated before that R46's are usually on and R32's are on . Recently R160B's have appeared on and , and I still had people at Union Square asking "Hey' is that an or (W)"? Yeah I get annoyed at that too, people don't bother reading signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan 256 Posted August 10, 2008 Share #16 Posted August 10, 2008 If only people would listen to announcements or read signs first, people would get around this city a lot faster. Technology helps us to do that. Usually. But in those "rare" cases where technology royally screws up... "Ladies and gentlemen, you are now boarding the, uh, blank train to... Well, the sign's not working, so I can't tell you. The next stop is... I don't know, the FIND's not working." "But you're the conductor! Shouldn't you know this stuff anyway?" "Well that's why we have technology, son. To do that stuff for us." "And when it doesn't work? Shouldn't you go back to memorization? Or grab a map or something?" "Nope, you're screwed."
