This is a step in the right direction, but for mass transit to truly be appealing, straphangers should get the same grade of coverage that motorists get. Why spend all of this money and not go the whole way?
I don't really want to listen to my fellow riders yelling into their phones, but I'd at least like to have data and SMS service with which to pass the time while underground. Perhaps there could just be stiff fines for people who take and place phone calls in the train, or designated cars for yappers.
I don't know what you're whining about. The Subway may be annoying to you, but for those who ride it to get from point A to point B, it's rather efficient.
It takes me 10 minutes to travel by subway from Penn station to Grand Central whereas by Taxi it’s anywhere between 20 to 25 minutes.

Riding the subway is already an 11 on the annoying meter, it's not like cell phones are going to make it worse.

Adam, you self righteous prick, get off your high horse. Douche.
I'd rather not stoop to your level.
