Talk about a stupid idea
Now this might work in the fantasy land of Snowflakes. Maybe they could order extra buttons for Rykers Island as well?

Maybe I missed it; what does MTA stand for again?

These are the times that try men's souls. In the course of our nation's history, the people of Boston have rallied
Bravely whenever the rights of men have been threatened. Today, a new crisis has arisen. The Metropolitan
Transit Authority, better known as the M. T. A., is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population in the
Form of a subway fare increase. Citizens, hear me out! This could happen to you!

Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charley on a tragic and fateful day.
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family, went to ride on the M. T. A.

Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned and his fate is still unknown.
(What a pity! Poor ole Charlie. Shame and scandal. He may ride forever. Just like Paul Revere.)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned.

I spent 2.5 months working in NYC. I used the MTA to get around Manhatten, but drove in the other boroughs.

I was in a cow pasture in West Texas when I got the call that I was needed in NYC. The downstream portion of oil & gas is in NYC, and it's in some really shitty areas.

I keep thinking of the Boylston Shuttle ("A Subway Named Mobius" by A. J. Deutsch).
