Hello, As my title states, I shall deliver on my promise of telling stories about incidents I have witnessed while riding the MTA. To me, one thing that can really prove how well or how poorly a large organization, particularly a corruptly rub beauracracy runs is when something happens out of the blue and critical thinking skills are needed to restore operations back to what is...
