So the subway line Aaron [hawk269] and I ride everyday has been shut down -- there was a fire in a signal switching room that controls the line. It's going to be a major headache getting to and from work for AT LEAST the next six months. And all this while the MTA just passed another fare hike.
The thing that bothers me the most is that they are blaming this fire on a homeless person who set a shopping cart full of wood on fire to stay warm and it caught the control room on fire. So after all this BS from Bush and the Dept. of Homeland Security about making this city safer, we found a MAJOR hole in our subway system -- if a homeless person can shut down a subway line for six months, imagine what would happen if terrorists got their hands on our systems. Shut the lines down, pump tunnels with chemicals, you name it. This is why people in NYC hate Bush -- we knew he was lying when he said he would give this city money to protect it. We knew the Republican mayor was lying when he said we were protected. And our Republican governor won't give us the money to update our system when we give the state a majority of its tax revenue, causing those fare increases and the lack of money to protect the system. In NYC, we are not protected. And what's even worse is that it's going to take longer to fix the line than it did on 9/11. And this time, we're getting no help from anyone.
