Please Be Kind: Assembly passes MTA friendliness bill on buses and trains

The state Assembly wants a kindler, gentler transit system.

The MTA would be required to post an oath pledging friendliness and accurate information under legislation passed by the state Assembly on Wednesday.

The new signage would benefit riders who have a gripe about the system and don’t know where to take it, said Assemblyman Ron Kim, the bill’s sponsor.

“What our law will do is require (the MTA) to constantly communicate with the customers about their rights as riders,” said Kim (D-Flushing).

1. (D-Flushing)?

The D subway runs from the Bronx through Manhattan to Brooklyn -- it doesn't go anywhere near Flushing, Queens!

3. Many years ago

the MTA tried a slogan "Courtesy powers the MTA" It was over the rear doors of some buses along with a big smiley face. I thought back then "So that's why we're always late."
