Manic MTA Morning

I was thrilled to learn that the MTA has finally put some useful laws into effect:

- Coffee cups must have lids on them.

(I feel safer already)

- No crossing from one car to the other.

(Catch me if you can.)

- No taking up more than one seat.

(This is critical to New Yorkers' safety. But there are a couple of New Yorkers that are going to have trouble with this. I believe they should paint yellow strips on the seats so you know exactly how much space your butt can occupy.)

And on top of that - there may be a subway strike. I'm glad to see that the MTA has its' priorities straight.

The only problem I have with these laws is that the other day, a big fat guy taking up two seats was drinking a huge cup of coffee with no lid and bits were sprinkling on me - so I decided to get away from him and went into another car. So if someone is endangering your life by drinking coffee near you - or taking up too many seats - under those circumstances - is it okay to move between cars. What if while you are moving between cars you fall through. Will they ticket what's left of you?
