BroadwayBuffer Posted October 20, 2008 Share #26 Posted October 20, 2008 The theory I heard as to why you can't walk between cars deals with Home Land Security. Walking from car to car is one of the few times a terrorist has direct access to the roadbed, this is the same reason why they have alarms on most EEs. I doubt it. Or at least if that is the reason, it's as pointless as the random bad search. It's so easy for anyone to just enter the tunnels from stations. I don't think any alarms go off for that. I saw two guys with skateboards say "lets walk it" and run into the tunnel from Bay Ridge Ave to 77th St. And just last week I saw a notably non-TA person enter the tunnel at Jay St–Borough Hall , tracks. All just disappeared into the darkness, who knows what they could be up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's be worthwhile instead of all the NYers with 10 IQ reporting photographers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted October 20, 2008 Share #29 Posted October 20, 2008 I don't think they should be locked, you get trapped in a car where the odor is not so pleasant, what do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 21, 2008 Share #30 Posted October 21, 2008 I don't think they should be locked, you get trapped in a car where the odor is not so pleasant, what do you do? Yeah, does transit bureau enforce the rule if something clearly unpleasant is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's be worthwhile instead of all the NYers with 10 IQ reporting photographers. The skateboarders at Bay Ridge Ave were just two idiots. The guy at Jay St I didn't think of reporting at the time, but probably should have. I don't know how to call that hotline, what is it? Plus, there's a lot of activity at Jay St at that time, my train had just arrived, so I boarded and didn't think to look for police by then. Oh well, "don't be a snitch".

Paul P Posted October 21, 2008 Share #32 Posted October 21, 2008 1-800-NYC-SAFE Haven't you seen enough of those in the whole system? It's not really a snitch thing, when 'idiots' walk on the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted October 21, 2008 Share #33 Posted October 21, 2008 Not that I have read of, in the rules it doesn't say that. But it sure is understandable when you're in that kind of situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioguy Posted October 23, 2008 Share #34 Posted October 23, 2008 I have a healthy respect for the NYPD, but I was recently stopped for walking between one car and another to get a seat. I went unfined, and unarrested, but the conduct of offiicers involved would lead most to reconsider their respect for the police. That said, I still know most are the good guys.
