My father was talking to me about the MTA's bad service, why it's like that, and I forgot what he said. But it made sense. That it's not the MTA's fault or something. I'll have to ask him about it again.

you can get pocket maps...

How to partially alleviate this problem? Install bus maps at each station. But MTA is too cheap/lazy to do this.

Was stuck at a train station relatively near my house and could've even walked home. But, no map and had no idea where exactly it was located and which way to go.

Now they're raising the fare by 25%, though the plan was to raise by 50%, and closing some stations completely and others will be closed at night. Also firing a lot of both clerks so now no one will tell you how to get home.

True to what you said, but you have to admit that sometimes things work well. Not often, but sometimes.
The worst, though, is when you're waiting for a train for an hour during rush hour and then they announce that there's a problem somewhere on the track and that you have to find another way home. I feel sorry for those people who's only way home is that one train.
The best part is the stampede to the booth to get a free transfer ticket. The line is huge and you would probably have to wait another hour by the time the agent explains to every person what detour they should take to get home.
Well, at least they have the courtesy to do that.
