Deep in the pits of the subways, evil grows in two

Councillor Gord Perks offers a short history of the Transit City plan. He says the Finch LRT was on track to open in 2013, until "certain conservative politicians" started saying "subways, subways, subways" and demanding everything be a public-private partnership.

old subways rarely have widely spaced stops and still perform better

I just want more subways

Very clear from riding the subways the last few weekends that the MTA is not providing enough weekend service. The 1 train in particular has been extremely crowded. This is frustrating because it's been like this during November/December for years now.

Day 17: Egypt

Arlo Guthrie / Pete Seeger - Old Time Religion

We will pray with those Egyptians,
Build pyramids to put our crypts in,
Cover subways with inscriptions,
And it's good enough for me.

Reupping our months-long investigation into how and why the city’s response to homelessness and mental health crisis in the subways keeps breaking down =>

Billionaires are indeed one of the main reasons why we can’t build subways.

the problem with Southern California and transit, not just buses and trains and subways etc, is that the heart of the NIMBYism is politically or financially powerful people who really don't even like that cars and e-bikes allow poor people to show up in their neighborhoods.

4 subways or 2 subways & a bus to get to Brooklyn. I—

Even if he wasn’t a corrupt piece of shit who ruined the subways, public employee pensions (myself included), and so much more, I was so motivated to do as much as I could to prevent his “comeback” because of how emblematic he is of the fact that powerful narcissists never face consequences…

Elevator Maintenance Rally
December 15, 2025
MTA HQ, NYC

The Elevator Action Group is a coalition of activists moving to push wheelchair accessibility in the subways to the top of the MTA agenda. Accessibility is not a luxury or convenience. It is a necessity and a civil right.

I’ve heard of it and would totally go! Most cities in the USA have no subways. I wish they would. But it’s awesome to hear it’s naked and I want to go

This should be a campaign plastered all over social media and ads taken out on buses, billboards, and subways. A photo of Mike Johnson and copy that reads "THIS GUY AND THE GOP ENDED YOUR AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE".

There are also peacocks, armadillos, John Quincy Adams, flashlight holsters, subways, Andy Samburg, taco plates, and tsetse flies.

"When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past."

Seltrac is a pretty common CBTC system. Muni already uses an older version of it on the two subways.

Yeah I know. Casey likes trains and subways. Casey likes people who like trains and bikes and subways and buses. The neurodivergent need to own a copy of your city’s subway map is strong.

The MTA finds itself in an enviable and rare position: it's financially stable in the near term, with years of projected balanced budgets and it’s adding service, not cutting, on the subways and buses.

As U.S. Transit Takes a Dive, MTA Enjoys a Rarity: More Service and Stable Cash Flow
San Francisco and Philly are limping along. Yet in New York, North America’s largest mass transportation authority finds itself running more trains and buses, and limiting fare hikes.

Useful explainer re trams, LRT, subways etc. Opinionated though.
December 17, 2025 at 3:11 PM
and heavy rail subways and light metros *can* operate at surface level if required, so it’s not like it’s either/or.

The subways seem to be doing a better job of holding riders on Friday, but non-holiday Fridays are off midweek peaks by about 10%

TTC shutdown from St George to Ossington, but also shut down the other line from College to Osgoode, meaning no subways for the majority of the downtown. How is this considered good policy? I mean, I know repairs need to be done, but there has got to be a better way.
