MTA Begs Riders To Stop Holding Subway Doors

With some new signs, the MTA is trying to remind subway riders that trying to push through a train car's closing doors slows subway service down. CityRoom describes the graphic, "The image above shows a rider wedged into the door, his body awkwardly positioned as the panels slam shut. (Whether he made his way into the train car, and succeeded in getting to his destination, remains unknown.)" If only the other people on the train car were shown with their annoyed expressions!

Stand clear of the platform edge and then some: A 14-year-old boy fell into the tracks at the Kings Highway subway station when the platform partially collapsed. Avi Katz was able to get away before the approaching Q train made it into the station.
