Get out and live – 14th Street: subway mismanagement story, 2nd installment
LOOKING AHEAD by Wally Dobelis
A reader reports that MTA, in closingticket booths. have also closed some access to the trains via the Metro Card. That is total inaccessibility, not just an insult to the seniors but to the whole city.
His complaint was about the BMT 7th Ave/55th Street entrance, accessed my many Broadway theatre goers at night. Its uptown access is the busy 57th Street/ Carnegie Hall BMT entrance, with a regular blue booth selling Metro cards.
MTA, who will raise fares, while billions are being spent in slow reconstructio of the downtown headquarters and hub - I see daily the hundreds of engineers and architects they have employed for years. Robert Moses, or reasonable facsimile, wher are you when we need you!
You cannot even provide decent train accessd facilities; this last example is not just pinchpenny, it is mismanagement. .
