MTA board to formally ban pooping in subways and buses

That you’re not supposed to do this should go without saying — but MTA bosses believe they need a rule explicitly banning defecating on the subway.

The new rule is on the agenda for an MTA meeting Wednesday. The rule will ban defecating on the city’s subways, buses and transit facilities.

Transit rules previously mandated $100 fines for straphangers who "create a nuisance, hazard, or unsanitary condition (including, but not limited to, spitting or urinating).”

Creating an “unsanitary condition” surely includes pooping — but MTA officials think they have to be more specific.

And they all got paid double-overtime to meet and spend 3 hours deciding to issue the new ban on pooping on trains.

Something about this article doesn’t smell right.

There was a time when NYC was very attractive to me. Riding my bike around the entire circumference (at least wherever there were streets and trails) of Manhattan. Running along the river. Great pizza. Watching people in Central Park. Going to Brant park - shopping at the kiosks and watching the ice skaters in the winter. There were all good things.

That said, I wouldn’t live there again at this point.

These are the people who failed Kindergarten and had to repeat it, b/c they didn’t believe in Bathroom Rules.

Is it still ok to pinch a loaf on Nanzi’s driveway?

Pretty sad that society has reached a point adults have to be instructed where not to poop.

On a recent thread we had some comments about how people used to dress up on planes and trains.
I’m guessing TWA never had to have a corporate policy about this...

They can pass all the rules they want - on paper. Who’s going to enforce them?

(At the Shut Down City Hall encampment the “protesters” were urinating and pooping in the subway vents, using them as a latrine. The cops were there but stood by and did nothing. Their union and the Mayor have instructed the cops to do the minimum enforcement possible. When someone resists arrest, rather than have a physical confrontation, the cops just let him go.)

New York, Screw York

Start loading the trucks, I'm leavin' today
I want to be so far from it
New York, Screw York

These vagabonds turds, soil shoes like wet clay
Right through the very shart of it
New York, Screw York

I wanna to wake up, in a city that doesn't fleece
And take that shiny red pill
My money to keep

These Empire State Thugs
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
Outside Screw York

If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
Goodbye to you, New York, Screw York
New York, Screw York

I wanna to wake up, in a city that doesn't fleece
And find I'm keeping my dough, free of the creeps
Losing the mask, and restaurant eat

The De Blasio blues, are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
Out of Screw York

And If I can make it there
I'm gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you, Screw York
Screw York
Screw York

But the problem is who is going to arrest the offenders?

San Francisco is close to calling colon rope coils “impromptu art installations” and thus protected free speech.
