I meant to say vending machines.At 168 on the A/C/1 lines I've seen bad situations. One time, I was at an entrance at 168th st where there are three vending machines, and a station agent. ALL three vending machines said "OUT OF SERVICE". The station agent was not allowed to go back in his token booth to sell cards. Basically, he had to stand there and tell people to go back upstairs, and cross two avenues to get to the 24-hour token booth. Would've been so much easier if he could've just gone back in his booth, but TA wouldn't allow it at the time. TA had just introduced the "roving agent" title, and wanted it to work. Eventually a frustrated customer hit the agent. At the north end entrance of 168, on many occassions, I've noticed that ALL METROCARD VENDING MACHINES WERE OUT OF SERVICE AT THE SAME TIME, for WEEKS AT A TIME. And this was no coincidence, nor is it me blowing things out of proportion. It's just a fact. Saw this every day of my life. I've also seen days when ALL Metrocard vending machines at 68/Lex were out-of-service, causing long lines, inconvenience, and congestion around the token booth and exit. |
