Greetings from Toyland! It's too damned hot and once again the dumbass MTA running our transit system made getting to 28th Street difficult. I am sympathetic to delays caused by a sick passenger, a death, a suicide on the tracks, or whatever causes the backup, but what I do not understand is the fact that my local No 1 train can run to 72nd Street and then go express to 34th Street, then to 14th, without going back to a local situation. If the move is done to loosen up the trains behind the one you are on, surely after 34th Street, the damned thing could go back to being local? It seems to me they've opened up a good window of time by the time the train I'm on arrives at 34th, and would help passengers going to local stops below 42nd Street. No, it means getting off at 34th or 42nd and waiting in the GODDAM HEAT for the next train or walking up to the street for a bus or riding down to 14th Street and then transferring to an uptown local. Since my stop is the next after 34th, it really pisses me off, especially since it happens on an average of 6-10 times a year.
