New York Subway Musicians go to Korea...
12/16/2003 02:57 PM New York Subway Musicians
go to Korea (from ArtsJournal.com)... And they can stay there, as
far as I’m concerned. When you’re an out-of-towner, or just use
the subway once a year, buskers are so quaint and picturesque. But if
you’re a commuter who rides the subway every day of your life, they
are stupendous annoyance, preventing you from concentrating on your
reading, and generally adding to irritating cacaphony of an already
inhuman environment. The subway is not some cute audition club for
aspiring mimes. As
Serious Danger points out, "approximately one in
seven people waiting on your train platform is a face-slasher or a
gut-stabber who will cut you with scant provocation, and less
warning."

06/23/2004 09:28 AMAP - For 35 years, the words "miss subways" had nothing to do with
being late for work or nostalgia among expatriate New Yorkers. The
words referred to the eager young women who hoped their photos on
subway placards would be tickets to modeling careers or even
Hollywood.

A lecture on the development of the New
York City subway
05/20/2004 10:00 AMTomorrow night (Thursday) at the New York Public Library there's a
free lecture on The
Development of the New York City Subway System that sounds
interesting.
Transit Historian Peter Derrick will discuss why New
York City needed an extensive rapid transit system, the political and
financial difficulties in getting new lines built, and the impact the
subways had on the growth of the city and the well being of its
population. The focus will be on the largest stage of subway
expansion, the 1913 Dual System of Rapid Transit, under which most of
the existing IRT and BMT lines were constructed.
Free. From 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM.Science, Industry and Business
Library, 188 Madison Avenue, New York.

NYC ban on subway photos
06/05/2004 05:54 AMThe NYC subway system is thinking of banning photos on the platforms
and trains. Photos of the NYC subways have won awards and been given
their own shows -- and more importantly, photo-documentation of
neglect through the subway system were critical to the re-funding and
revitalization of the service. So, basically, this is a stupid idea.
The argument is that somehow, photos of trains and platforms (not
switching stations, conductor compartments, or control centres) will
aid terrorists, and therefore that banning photos will make New
Yorkers feel safer. So, basically, this is a stupid idea with an even
stupider justification.
The Village Voice is holding a Forbidden Photos contest to shoot cool,
arty pix of the NYC subway, and to kick it off, they've interviewed a
bunch of photogs who shoot underground all the time about why they
work on the subway:
I've found that most subway police officers think that photography is
already illegal, and there's no way to convince them otherwise. So
I've taken to carrying a copy of the law with me. The only people this
[regulation] will affect is law-abiding citizens.
An enormous amount of great photography has come out of the subway.
Look at Bruce Davidson, who powerfully documented the run-down transit
system of the '70s and '80s and its weary riders. He probably wouldn't
have been able to get a permit at the time (no one knows if the MTA
will even issue permits this time around!). Would we be better off
without his art?

The subway centennial
The subway centennial
05/04/2004 03:11 PMYou have until the end of the year to check out the New York Public
Library's exhibit, The Subway at 100: General William Barclay Parsons and the
Birth of the NYC Subway, but why wait?
Celebrating the centennial of the opening of the New
York City subway system in 1904, this exhibition both salutes William
Barclay Parsons, the first chief engineer of the subway, and
recognizes the importance of the subway system to the life and growth
of the city.
Sounds great, and since the subway is one of my favorite things
about New York City, I'm keen to learn more about its construction and
history. I'm adding this exhibit to my to-do list.

Cincinnati's Secret Subway
Cincinnati's Secret Subway
06/28/2004 11:35 AM
I just spent the weekend in my hometown of
Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1925, construction in Cincinnati began on a
state-of-the-art
subway system
for the rapidly expanding city. Three years later, money ran out
and the seven miles of completed subway were abandoned. Since then,
the cavernous rooms have become part of the city's
secret history, with
interest peaking every so often when a new plan for the tunnels is
proposed: a fall-out shelter, a wind tunnel for the university's
engineering students, a venue for a music festival. Back in high
school, several of my friends accessed the tunnels for a few exciting
evenings of urban spelunking. Now though, legit tours are occasionally
offered.
According to this recent piece on NPR's All Things Considered, the
waiting list is 2,000 people long.

NYC Subway Gets a Computerized Facelift
(AP)
04/10/2005 05:37 PMAP - A subway train rattles halfway into Union Square station in
Manhattan and shudders to a halt. Over a crackle of static, a voice on
the PA system announces congestion ahead and says it will be several
minutes before service resumes. Trapped commuters sigh and glance at
their watches impatiently. Some simply close their eyes in
resignation. This sort of thing — and much worse — has been
happening quite a lot lately. So it's no surprise that transit
snafu-weary New Yorkers are greeting with ambivalence this month's
launch of fully computer-automated trains on a 22-mile line that
intersects Manhattan and Brooklyn.
