Typically you would think this would be much of a non-story, but the New York Media seems to have a way of making something out of nothing.
This is where Second Avenue Sagas comes in. This happens to be one of my favorite blogs with discussion relating to the ongoing construction of the 2nd Avenue subway line, which directly affects me as a Upper East Side Manhattan resident. But discussion also ranges around a plethora of transit related matters. In this case mobile technology fits in with a wide range of heated opinions. From interrupted quiet below, which I find hilarious, to the rudeness of some and this is something I can agree with. More importantly the author Benjamin Kabak also goes into discussing the city divide around this issue with most of the outer boroughs already experiencing coverage inside of trains running on elevated structures and in trenches with miles of track between them. Seemingly the outer boroughs of NYC handle the issue just fine. So what's Manhattan's problem? Hit the link above and check out the story. It's a pretty solid read provoking some intriguing thoughts.
