Joe Gallagher+FollowBrooklyn bus ride turns into a delivery roomA routine Brooklyn bus commute took a wild turn when MTA driver Christopher Accettulli helped deliver a baby right on the B37 route! Imagine being on your way to work and suddenly witnessing a new life enter the world—on public transit, no less. Accettulli, a 20-year veteran, didn’t hesitate to jump in, wrapping the newborn in a sweater and making sure she was breathing until EMTs arrived. Both mom and baby are doing well. It’s moments like these that remind us how everyday heroes are all around us. What would you do in a situation like this? #Transportation #Brooklyn #MTA00Share
Sean Clark+FollowBrooklyn’s new MTA gates face viral challengeTurns out the MTA’s high-tech fare gates aren’t as foolproof as promised—just ask Brooklyn’s own Kiingspiider, who’s racked up millions of views showing creative ways to bypass them (sometimes in a Spider-Man suit!). While the MTA calls these stunts “minor league trolling,” Kiingspiider says it’s about more than just going viral—he wants the city to focus on subway safety and service, not just expensive new gates. With the MTA piloting these gates at 20 stations, it’s clear riders are putting them to the test. What do you think: Is this a wake-up call for better priorities, or just internet antics? #Transportation #Brooklyn #MTA00Share
Lauren Cooper+FollowNYC’s new subway gates spark wild debateA woman got her head stuck in one of the MTA’s new anti-fare-beating turnstile gates at Broadway/Lafayette, and the video is making the rounds online. The gates are supposed to stop fare dodgers, but some New Yorkers say they’re more trouble than they’re worth—blaring alarms, trapping people, and costing millions. Others argue it’s time folks just pay the fare. Are these new gates making your commute safer, or just adding more chaos to the subway experience? Would you rather deal with fare evaders or malfunctioning tech? Let’s hear your take on the MTA’s latest move! #Transportation #NYCSubway #MTA00Share
