Subway Commute

I don't quite remember since when the #7 in Main Street Flushing has this uniformed MTA guy standing on the platform every morning, yelling at the top of his lung to remind people to let passengers off first. The platform is at least 150 feet long and he is standing on one end of the platform, enthusiastically, tirelessly, incessantly yelling the same thing whenever a train pulls over much to my annoyance. My morning commute can't be quiet and peaceful any more. Somebody needs to find this guy another job at the MTA, like cleaning up the garbage on the track or on the platform or something.

We have this big platform island in Main Street Flushing Station where there are three tracks for either local or express trains. But the platform is narrow and to make matter worse, there are like zillions of garbage receptacles dotted along the platform right in the middle. Passengers are forced to walk on the side close to the edge of the platform wherever there is this huge garbage thing. I don't know what they are thinking. Are we supposed to carry our home garbage to the MTA? Do we need all these huge garbage receptacles there? Not put on the side of the platform but right in the middle? It's freaking mind-boggling. Even with all these garbage receptacles, animals still like to throw garbage around ....

  1. You know what I hate most? Gums on the ground. Wherever you go; there's gums on the ground. Most of them have turned black over time. These animals like to spit gums out on the ground everywhere.
