The MTA's website lays out all of the new subway and bus changes in all 5 boroughs of New York City.
They also included a letter that talks about how they're trying to balance an $800 million budget deficit. People got skewered by the news media and public consensus when they had trouble paying their mortgages, and huge institutions like the MTA, the City of Pittsburgh are basically in bankruptcy. Where are the fiscal conservatives? Do they even exist anymore? I just can't believe we've created a country on debt. When you borrow more than you can ever pay off, what do you expect will happen? Frustrating.
All that being said, the new MTA chief seems to be doing some smart things to try and right a broken system. Hopeful for more progressive change.

I actually really like the NY subway map, but I'm excited to see them updating it for clarity. It's been a long time coming. More on this with pictures from the NY Times.
I was riding the subway to work today and these were the 3 other guys sharing the train with me.
1. BlackBerry man - also listening to an iPod
2. Digital video player man - watching a Jennifer Aniston film
3. iPad man - reading the Wall Street Journal
I loved hearing the MTA announcement telling you not to take out phones and other devices. Trying to watch out for our safety!

I mean, seriously, this is awesome. It's actually scary how many times I've seen people cutting nails on the subway. Almost as creepy as people having full meals on the subway.
Spotted this on Dan Pink's blog but he found it originally on the Critical Difference blog.
