Comment of the Day

It is not dawdling to try to find a spot on an overstuffed train when you have no confidence of the next train’s arrival time, but that is what slows things, down, people holding doors and trying to force their way in. Subway ridership is at record levels. NYCTA needs to find a way to increase rush hour capacity — more frequent rains, etc. With enough capacity, so-called “dawdling” will disappear.
