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.
