The old "we're improving your service" hustle


Virtually every weekend barring holidays, the New York City subways A, C or E line experiences weekend repairs "to improve service." This means that weekend service is never improved. Someone with a green pen interjected a humorous/hopeless graffitti reality check into the signage. For a taste of what "service improvements" amount to on weekends, watch the accompanying YouTube, which I made when they stopped the train two miles from my stop, in the middle of the night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WqhB_0VgwM
IMO, failure to tell the truth on the PA system is the same as lying.
