Thanks to the folks over at the MTA for letting Underground Signs create some cool custom signage for the Unconference for Developers this summer. We had a great time meeting new people and talking transit.
Got an event coming up? Let us know so we can bring you a touch of New York City!
Or just recommend us on Tumblr :)
WPIX: MTA Public Hearing Tonight, Cooper Union: Half of Manhattan’s Subway Booths to Close?
MTA considering closing over 50% of their Subway booths as a cost-cutting measure. Residents speak out tonight.
From WPIX:
The MTA is planning to permanently close or reduce the hours of more than half of the subway station booths and kiosks in Manhattan, and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is calling for opposition.The cost-cutting move by the MTA would affect 49 of 86 subway stations throughout the city, directly affecting the safety of subway riders Stringer said in a press release. Stringer, along with Assembly Member Wright and TWU Local 100 President John Samuelson, are urging New Yorkers to join them at MTA public hearings on July 13 and 14.
Unfortunately, more distressful announcements coming from the MTA this month. How have these changes affected your commute? What station stops would you save, which would you get rid of?
Feel free to reblog with your thoughts or post on our Facebook discussion page.
MTA officially released the updated New York City subway map this week.
Yay or Nay?
