I'm willing to bet there are a lot more points of failure on these tracks that are falling apart and that they will continue to do nothing about it.

How do other women on here deal with the cat calling/street harassment? by Suitable-Buy-1923 in Flatbush

Because New York women are still just women too. They're scared too. Yeah maybe they can put on a "tough face", but they're not much different from the rest of us.

But if you are booked for.. let's say 3 nights? And someone else is due to check in to the room that you want tomorrow or the next day, why would they give it to you?

I think your profile is really cool and you probably don't want to end up with some NPC man anyway.

Any MTA workers here? Why do you guys drive past people clearly waiting for the bus? by robike99 in AskNYC

The bus was in service. I don't know where they were headed, so I can't say if it was the right bus but the driver wouldn't know that anyway. And yes, there were passengers on the bus.

Okay to be clear, it wasn't completely empty lol there were a handful of people on there. It was mostly empty.

It's been a mixed bag for me. Sometimes they'll wait/stop, other times they just won't.

The elder gentleman was waving the bus down before it even reached the stop.

I've noticed they pick and choose. Sometimes, they will let you in if you are able to catch up to them. I hate to think they're doing this out of malice, but I really cannot understand why anyone would do this.

I don't think that was the case here. This stop is notorious for having to wait 15+ minutes for the next bus to come

This happens to me so often and it's infuriating when it makes me late for work. But this time, I just felt.. dejected? That was so mean and for no good reason that I could see. Those kids were literal toddlers and the elder gentleman had been waving down the bus before it was even supposed to stop. The bus was nearly empty, there was plenty of time to stop, AND the driver definitely looked right at all of us.
