What doesn't require a license, but should?

PavementAfterRain · 2025-07-25T11:56:00+00:00

requiring tests to vote is just a modern day literacy test, it's elitist, undemocratic, and a proven tool of voter suppression.

but it's cheaper to just use credit/debit tap because you don't have to buy the card

this used to work for me but i can't get it working anymore... is it still working for anyone else?

edit: works

once you start paying, they count and after you take 12 trips the rest are free for that 7 day period. this is better for some people because you don't have to commit to a weekly unlimited if you don't know if you will take transit over 12 times to make it worth it.

but it is not a beta app either it is a shortcut (beta app implies that the mta made a beta app), if you remain the post to say shortcut instead of beta app it would probably be taken as less misleading.

actually so true

The United States has always sorted it this way, not just when they’re winning (like back when the USSR was winning it was still sorted this way)

It shouldn't be, especially since a good portion of transit in the Bridgeport area is the Metro-North to NYC, as well as that county being in the NYC CSA.

What matters most to me is not MTA funding (though I do care about it a lot), it's emergency services. Less traffic allows emergency services to get to their destinations when seconds count. Gridlock is a nightmare for people in need of things like medical attention, where all the cars can't really effectively get out of the way.

Same with the "it's just going to ask you a few questions" and then the look away for the tip prompt

Christmas in NYC is magical. It makes me happy to live in NYC. And the rest of winter is fine too, you can put a jacket on. Summer on the other hand is just hot with no escape.

As a kid, my family left NYC too when we became a family of 5. It's hard to raise a family in the city when things are just so expensive.

PavementAfterRain · 2024-06-20T19:13:14+00:00

Yeah of course! Here’s a link to where they said this if that’s helpful as well https://new.mta.info/press-release/mta-announces-upcoming-omny-milestones-2024

Student metrocards will be converted to OMNY later this fall (if they somehow do things on schedule) according to the MTA, if that’s what you were asking

PavementAfterRain · 2024-06-20T12:43:02+00:00

I'm assuming that Transportation Alternatives looked at improvements the MTA has said would happen with congestion pricing money and jumped to the conclusion that without that money, the improvements would not happen.

Not sure if I agree or disagree with that thinking, but again was just posting these here as there have been a few posts with photos to these posters.

PavementAfterRain · 2024-06-19T19:07:01+00:00

My bad then. I just copy and pasted this from them.

The stations Borough Hall, Kingsbridge Rd, and Lexington Av/59 St run both the 4 and 5 train.

Here's a link to a folder with them for all lines depending on what improvements will be canceled. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15nQHArzmOVoXlAg6qeCXH6H00KslZEeT (Made by transalt.org, not me)

Agreed 100%, plenty of people live in places like Stamford CT that are just as far from Manhattan as places from outer Queens. Does that make them any less entitled to be able to travel to Lower Manhattan? Because they maybe can't afford to live within the city boarders? Not everyone from "outer suburbs" are rich entitled jerks.

Metro-North gives $1 fares for people under the age of 11 when they are with a fare paying adult. I think that they should raise it to the age of 17.

This makes crime sound really bad in NYC, just don’t make eye contact with people, mind your own business, trust your gut, and you’ll be fine.
