Everyone deals with public transportation issues daily, which is a fairly common thing. But for us New Yorkers, these daily transportation issues are nothing new. It's pretty much more of the same, just gradually getting worse. I'm pretty sure the lot of you can relate.

1. "[something, something] Fare Hike"

Fare hike is pretty much a taboo world for MTA riders. Why? Remember back when train fare was just $1.25 or $1.50? I mean, hell, I think we took that for granted by a mile. There's no mentioning "fare hike" without the complaints from the rest of us. Trains ever late, delayed, signal malfunction, the works. Considering fare hikes you would think that the MTA would get their shit together and properly fix it without some backward ass logic behind it. New train cars, crappier tracks. How does that even work?!

2. "Sorry. We have delays from the trains up ahead. Please be patient as we SHOULD be moving shortly. Thank you for your patience and riding with the MTA New York City Transit." ~Christopher James

One of the most dreadful things to be announced especially when you're stuck in the tunnel between 2 stations with no wifi. When will the train move? In the next 5 minutes? 30 minutes? Or maybe the next year... Yeah, no, commuters have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD. Patience? I think not.

3. "Ladies and gentlemen we are being held momentarily by the train’s dispatcher. Please be patient" ~Kenta Payne

No. We don't want to be patient. Why are we being held "momentarily" in the first place?!

4. "We are being held momentarily because of train traffic ahead of us. Please be patient"

Again, no. We're cranky and annoyed. An Arizona Ice Tea for $0.99 goes farther than the $2.75 train fare. At least something like that could last someone a whole day and MTA can't even last for the 20 to 30 minutes (depending on where you are) ride. Like come on man!

5. "This train is going express/local" or they just don't bother to announce it.

Yes, we love getting to our destination late or not at all. It's cool. Because for some reason, we can I Dream of Jeannie ourselves to where we need too be.

6. "Due to a sick passenger/police investigation at [whatever station], we are being held here by the train's dispatcher. Thank you for your patience." ~Christopher Morales

We don't even have a choice at this point. We're patient because we have to be, not because we want to. Another thing to add to this, if you'e sick, stay the fuck home or get an Uber! Just because you're sick doesn't mean you get to make everyone else late.

So MTA, why are commuters not suppose to complain about the fare hike again? The tracks are fixed, right? There's no delays or signal malfunctions? No construction on the weekend? Everyone can actually get to work on time. No? Then we have every right to complain. I'm sure with all the fare hikes, you guys should have enough to fix the tracks, THE TRACKS and pay off some students' tuition because of your consistent delays. No matter how early anyone leaves, by some miracle we're late. Please have a seat in the corner.
