bad service

The Fail Road Is Clueless (Again)….

Once again, the morons that run the Fail Road prove that they are utterly clueless about the needs of their customers. In their infinite wisdom, they have decided to make Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a “holiday” and run trains on a modified holiday schedule. This means that instead of the regular weekday schedule, I will have to get on the 6:50 am train. The next train will be at 8:50am.

What the fuck? That is total bullshit.

Besides the fact that it’s a regular workday for me, it is also a regular workday for hundreds of thousands of others. Why would the Fail Road run on such a schedule for MLK day? Last time I checked, the employees get enough time off. Let them earn their money. Does the Fail Road think because there’s a holiday that everything just shuts down?

The reason why the Fail Road did this is because they are fucking clueless. And, I bet is has something to do with the fucking unions and their bullshit rules regarding days off and other garbage. With all the benefits the employees are fucking us up the ass for (which are extorted via “negotiations”) I would think they days off that are received in a private entity should be forfeited. All days off except the “major” holidays such as New Year’s Day, July 4h, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Christmas and Thanksgiving. They should do this because they WORK FOR THE PUBLIC. And, as such, they should be available to SERVE THE PUBLIC.

Once again, we hard working Fail Road riders have been shat upon. Send emails and complaints to the LIRR. Let them know how wrong they are. They work for US goddamnit.

This is us, the Fail Road rider, shit upon once again:

Ovens With Seats

Every morning, we get on ovens with seats that get us to work. They’re not train cars, they’re OVENS. For whatever reason, the heat has been on this week in our beloved Fail Road cars. Why is the heat on? It has been chilly in the mornings this week, but it is also very humid. This makes it feel much hotter in the cars.

Also, (for me in the mornings), the train is closed for a while before we get on. The air is stagnant. Blasting more hot stuffy air into it will not make things any better. Asking the conductor to make it cooler is worthless. You’re either met with a grunt or they ignore you.

I don’t think it’s asking too much to have the temperature regulated to a normal level. If they can’t give us good service, if they can’t get us to work or home on-time on a regular basis, if they don’t tell us what’s going on when we don’t move for 5-10 minutes…if they can’t make our commute without insanity and drama, then the least those nitwits can do is turn a nob.
