The MTA is crap.
If only there are more MTA platform conductors to prevent future passenger falls, injuries and/or deaths on the tracks, especially when these stations are overcrowded such as the 74th Street-Broadway station. That’s the short term. In the long term, the MTA should invest in testing platform screening doors like in Seoul, Singapore and Hong Kong.
The MTA is crap.
Lazy mta , they wont do shit
Ironicly I almost lost my left leg or even my life last night when I feel between the train and the platform. Feel bad for that lady. That would e 2 in one day.
Does anyone know her name
Her name was Samiha Khan and she was my first cousin
She was not struck… she took her own life.
