Tell me something I don’t know.

You mean the one right in front of me?

As all Gothamites know the MTA’s informational and PA systems are shambolic. But cheer up! There is one area where they excel – in telling you something that’s blatantly obvious. There’s two tracks. One’s empty. One has a train waiting with the doors open. I wonder which one will be the “next” train. Perhaps the only one visible?

Here’s a suggestion from The Observer. Why not put informational signs OUTSIDE the turnstiles? Perhaps informing the rider of delays or outages or what’s good on the menu at Katz’s Deli. Anything before I spend $2 and wait anxiously like the homely bride at the altar.
