Hate alone is not enough to nourish. But there’s rage too.

there’s a bunch of hubub about a fare hike by the MTA. this has me vexed about something i noticed a few weeks ago. every weekend, the MTA make a shit load of changes to the train lines to allow for repairs and stuff (http://mta.info/nyct/service/subsrvn1.htm). they post signs everywhere on the trains and on the platforms. they used to be 8.5x11 simple black and white notifications of the line being affected and what to do about it. a few months ago i noticed that they have pretty good quality color signs. sounds expensive, perhaps excessive. so i say to my self, maybe they chose color so that they could color coordinate the color of the subway lines. but no. they are all black. i’m sure it doesn’t even make a dent in the colossal bureaucracy that is public transportation but it seems unnecessary to me.
