MTA, Make me want you
Added on Thursday, June 15th, 2006I came into this public transit fray initially for one reason only - the cultivation of a good time via MTA. There are as many kinks and fetishes out there as there are the myspace pages to contain them, but if you boil it all down having a good time is basically comprised of 3 things: People who you are sexually attracted to, the presence of social stimulating chemicals, and a place in which to combine the aformentioned things away from one’s home. This metro rider is currently only concerned with the last listed item; getting there. I’ll go so far as to say the place where people meet their vice is the largest and most important aspect of the three. So why don’t people party with transit in this city? There’s is definitely no clear or simple answer but I’ve taken it upon myself to slowly answer that question over time, drink by drink, party by party, post by post.
As FredCamino pointed out in a previous post, the MTA has decided to scale back operating hours due to “rider demands”. Aside from being ridiculous and falling into several old timey greek logical fallacies this move deals a heavy blow to the MTA party quotient. 12:30am is already absurd, an end time which really only allows the MTA to be used to get to the party, but now even earlier? It practically knocks the lime out of my gin and tonic. There really isn’t much more that can be said about this new policy change other than it is evil and clearly implemented by anti-social bridge trolls scared of their own reflection and the smell of human pheromones after dusk. So take a swig and speak up, let them know this post hoc ergo propter hoc doesn’t count as “rider demands”. Until then be sure to ride soused, arrive drunk, and bring a change of clothes then crash at Tammy’s place. Happy hangovers.
