Complain To Someone Who Will Listen
Put your bitching to good use and fill out a report card for New York City Transit President Howard Roberts, who inexplicably [wants to know how you feel] about your transit experiencespecifically in terms of on-time performance, cleanliness and helpfulness of employees. Yes, we're serious. Feel free to include something about the delays caused by "sick" passengers if you so desire. Roberts says the answers will be used to set the agency's priorities, which should probably include [fattening up the public](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16444534/wid/11915773/?GT1=8921) so the trains ride smoothly.
He also wants passengers to list three things they would like done to [improve their trip]. Try to keep them relatively realistic, will ya? Avoid suggestions like: install a full service bar and fully reclining seats or allow exotic dancers to utilize the polls during happy hour.
The first report cards will be given out on the 7 line in the very near future, and possibly other lines by the fall.
