The MTA runs the most complex mass transit system in the world. The only one that runs 24/7. Over 6 million people ride the subway each day alone. And unlike the limited DC Metro, BART, the London Underground, it is not a distance based system. For $2.75 you can go from anywhere to anywhere including bus transfers.
In DC, if you go from the end of the line in Maryland to DC, it can cost $10 during rush hour - each way.
So before you make silly comments, think about how complicated it is to run and manage this system - one built in large part in the early 1900s. Think you could do a better job?
Edit: typos

That makes sense. Better use of dollars. Right now, I have to quickly text or load a page when we get to stops. Unlike buses where they are above ground, for the subway this is an amazing upgrade.
So not sure why you think this is a waste of money. And I totally disagree. The subway is a relatively clean and safe way to get around the city. You most obviously didn’t live here in the 1980s when the cars had graffiti all over them. Inside and out and crime was really an issue - not a hyped TikTok story. Over 6 million people ride the subway on average day. If 6 million people walked through your house, not sure how spotless it would be.
Edit: and the service is fucking amazing. Trains typically within minutes. Runs 24 hours a day (only system in world to do that). Are there delays. Sure. Is it incredibly reliable - absolutely. Are you really in NYC or just trolling???

Who cares. It’s a bus. It runs above ground. Everyone on it has some sort of cell phone. I take the crosstown M76 all the time - don’t think a lot of people are signing onto Wi-Fi.

I had t read about it but definitely could be my imagination. I think more likely there is a weight balance difference with the new camera module that makes it feel too heavy

Yes. Different color. This is the new black (whatever they call it ) and my 13 was the blue. But weighed them and they are the same weight. I’m thinking it’s the balance of the weight with the new camera module but honestly don’t know

Yep and just weighed them both on my kitchen scale and they are a gram apart.
I’m thinking that maybe it has something to do with the weight of the new camera module and this the way it feels in my hands.

I know. Just weighed them both on a kitchen scale to confirm. Perhaps it’s the balance of it with the new camera module?

Yes. Thank you. Just edited my post. It really really feels uncomfortably heavier.
Edit: just weighed my son’s 13 pro max and my 14 on a kitchen scale and they were within 2 grams of each other. So not sure why it feels heavier.

Totally agree on Airalo! No more running around looking for sims when you get off the flight.
