Just Saying… (#9)
The MTA is planning on letting go of 600 station agents to close an $800 million gap. The agents used to be the people selling Metrocards and I always see tourists asking them questions. With no station agents and no police officers in sight (except when they’re searching my bag,) I better not hear any announcements telling me that if I see something suspicious in a train station, “don’t keep it to yourself. Tell a police officer or an MTA employee. Thank you and have a nice day.”

The question of a major earthquake in the US is not “if” but “when”. Make sure you’re prepared to be able to stay in one place for 72 hours and can grab all your important things in one fell swoop (these are basic emergency guidelines.)
