 City Mayors: 100 years New York Subway
Subway design and construction was varied to match the conditions and topography of a city that is incredibly diverse geographically.

New Yorkers' favorite time of year, though, is probably fall, when a bumper crop of New Broadway shows, restaurants, and stores arrive, returning the city's sense of energy after the languor of summer.
The much maligned New York subway system may not be the most pleasant to use—yes, it is dirty, crowded, and in the summer, unbearably hot, at least on the platforms—but it's hard to beat for connecting all points of the city.
New Yorkers have a particular walking style, though, which is basically to keep moving regardless of vehicles, other pedestrians, traffic signals, or the flashing red hand (Don't Walk) at intersections.

 Disorient Express :: MTA Service Advisories by RSS
New York City's Subway system can be mystifying at times, especially when it seems like certain trains like to suddenly stop running, go a different route or just start skipping stops for no apparent reason.
So after a lot of frustration about never knowing which lines were going to be out when, I figured the only thing to do was to cobble together a system to build RSS and TXT feeds of subway outages.
With some new code under the hood and a mean spirit spurred by getting screwed by the E/V train last weekend, the site and its feeds are now back and kicking.
