Bus or Metro from Penn Station to Columbia U?

<p>"I'm going to pretend I didn't read the words 'subway' and 'efficient' in the same sentence, and back slowly out of this thread..."</p>

<p>i'm going to pretend you didn't post this, actually I can't pretend, the subway travels at 40-60mph, 20-30 on average with all the stopping. it's only inefficient at night when it's low frequency. The subway is other things (dirty, crowded, ugly perhaps) but it's quick.</p>

<p>the subway is hardly comparable to the path train or the rail in boston which reminds me of disneys monorail....the other day i waited 18 mintues (timed it) for a 1 train and it was 3 pm. this is going to start becoming the norm pretty soon- I overheard an MTA guy talking about a huge number of layoffs and that it will affect the capacity of trains running by up to 30% within the next year....</p>

<p>proposed fare hikes and service reductions: MTA</a> Fares Information</p>

<p>Yeah, I saw that. My monthly's gonna be really expensive in a couple of months. $105...</p>

<p>MTA is going through a weird transition stage, and so the quality of service is going to go down some. They're suffering the recession like everyone else. Over the holidays the train station by my house became filthy -- human feces, more rats, homeless people sleeping inside it. It got better in a couple of weeks but I kept thinking "I hope that this is not what I have to look forward to..."</p>

<p>In other news, though, they did get new E trains. Not that we ever need to take the E for anything, but there you go.</p>

<p>"Since then, I've observed the general rule, "don't do dumb things","</p>

<p>Yeah, like hijack your best friend's car and then deny it ever happened.</p>

<p>"Very similar to how your mom knows I have good parts under all that rubber"</p>

<p>Oh, god...I didn't want to read this, but I did. </p>

<p>"I thought you went barebacking with my mom. Dang it, I thought I would get a half-denz half-karot for a little brother."</p>

<p>You really don't want this. Your half-denz half-karot hybrid monster will be working out algorithms to solve Mastermind or worse.</p>

<p>"The subway is other things (dirty, crowded, ugly perhaps) but it's quick."</p>

<p>True. I liked the subway. I also haven't biked in, oh, 30 years.</p>

<p>Of course not. Why would that be a dumb thing to do?</p>

<p>"good job using real names there"</p>

<p>He also invoked a good friend of mine in another thread...this is becoming a pattern. Denz, we might need to terminate you if you keep doing this :)</p>

<p>Doesn't Mr. Sun have hundreds upon hundreds of friends? Don't worry, I haven't compromised your anonymity. You can remain in deep cover.</p>

<p>"You can remain in deep cover."</p>
