New subway rules

Starting Monday, New York City Transit’s new rules of conduct will make it illegal to place your feet on the seat of a bus or train or to jump a turnstile if your MetroCard is not working.

The new rules, approved by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in September, also make it illegal to walk between subway cars, wear in-line skates, ride a skateboard or straddle a bicycle in the transit system.

Comments are a privilege!

As you all may have noticed recently, a lot of comments have been denied and deleted, the reason being that it was getting way “out of hand”. CrownHeights.info has adopted a policy which was very liberal with the comments and it came back to bite us.

Most comments that have been submitted had nothing to do with the article, and worse, some comments have been entirely negative to other commentators. This will no longer stand.

From now on, if you would like to see your comments posted, please make sure they have mostly what to do with the article, and keep the negativity down to nil, it will not be tolerated any more.

More trouble at the Mobil gas station

This in from the Inbox.

I read the article posted on this site a while ago about the mobile gas station on Empire Blvd. well, I guess I should have listened to that article. On Wednesday afternoon last week (Erev Yom Kippur) at 2:30pm I went to get gas at the mobile gas station on Empire Blvd. corner of New York Ave. and filled up gas.

I gave the guy my credit card, he walked into the little room over there holding my card in his hand. Then he comes out, gives me the receipt to sign and after I sign it he begins to walk away. I yell out to him “hey, my credit card?” He says “I gave it to you man”. I said back to him “no you didn’t” and I had a friend in the car and he reassured me im not losing my mind and the guy did not come back with my card.
