Ohhh nice new shiny red door at my local subway stop
I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with this display, which has been on the same demo loop for *at least* five years – bei MTA Subway - Delancey St/Essex St (F/J/M/Z)
To be clear I’d be happy if it stayed this was forever
Hadn’t seen this swipeless system in the wild yet (34th St ACE). Seems like a lot of scratch-prone surface area but ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯. Love the added light strip indicator though.
They left the panel with the “token return” unmodded 😂
Heading back from the doctors and I spy a track inspection car!! – bei MTA Subway - 14th St (A/C/E/L)
I see what you did there 😂
I love New York so much sometimes. I walked by this random building like “oh that’s cool and old” and it turns out it was the first building in the world with an electric elevator: https://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-1890-demarest-building-nos-335-339.html?m=1
He’s fixing a nearby elevator!
Oh hello
Any infrastructure/architecture nerds know how the hell this is possible? And/or what this new building in nyc is?
More buildings should offfer this service imo

When your A train turns into a B train but is still an A train? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Genuinely curious why this would happen, @NYCTSubway, any thoughts?
Hello new friends!!! – bei MTA Subway - 14th St (A/C/E/L)
Ohh looks like the @NYCTSubway has a new digital-artist-residence, nice!
Hello, old friend. (attn @NYCTSubway,❤️u) – bei MTA Subway - 34th St/Penn Station (A/C/E)
(It’s ok I have a hard time handling kernel NULL pointer deferences too)
Nice
When the legacy drips won’t stop just paint around ‘em 😂 – bei MTA Subway - 181st St (A)
Yes please – bei MTA Subway - Morgan Ave (L)
nice

Anyone know why these extra/emergency(?) lights would be blinking like this? Second time I’ve noticed it. 14th St uptown A platform (north end). cc @NYCTSubway – bei MTA Subway - 14th St (A/C/E/L)

bonus paint history reveal
I spy new elevators incoming!
Can’t tell you how deeply satisfying this change is to the experience of this part of town. A more car-less city is 💯 a future I can get behind.
What is this?
Oh it’s probably the platform for the new bus service?
feeling cute might delete later
I’m digging the MTA’s new drone album.
