About once a week, I work in NYC. I take the train into the city because I hate driving in Manhattan. Each time I occupy the platform, I notice something is off, something isn't quite right, and I couldn't quite put my finger on it until now.
It's the clocks. There are none. In any LIRR train station. Anywhere. Or on the trains.
Now I am no conspiracy theorist, but why would you have no clocks on somewhere that is so heavily dependandant on time?
Unless of course you didn't want all of the riders to notice how late all of your trains were. LIRR prides itself on its On Time Performance (OTP) which is a completely randomly generated number thats 100% BS. How is it they can be hitting 90-something percent OTP, when 90 percent of the trains I have ever been on are late.
Additionally, have you ever read the fine print? OTP is defined as less that 6:59 late. I don't know about you, but I would call that a pretty signifigant amount of time. Maybe we need to let more MTA workers falsely collect disability and get paid massive pensions, so we can raise the fare even more.
