MTA Gets Cellular

Daniel Barry/New York Times
When in the subway, nobody can hear you scream. "Can you hear me now? fuck no." "I can't fucking call nobody down here?" "Where are my bars? I thought they raise 'em?"

Just when I thought the MTA is determined to stay in the 1960s when cellphone was non existent, then they came out with this half baked cellular plan for us riders: cellular service in the subway stations but not in the tunnel. For the cell phone happy set and the luddites, both can claim victory and both can't be completely happy.

    precisely what we needed. more obnoxious people jabbering away on their cellphones and sharing every detail of their lives with the public. it's bad enough on the 7 train. sadly, the personal details usually shared usually have to do more with hygiene (or lack of) and not social security or bank account numbers.

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
