mark1447 Posted March 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2010 Just a few min ago at Ave J on Brighton Beach Line i catch a dude from above grabbing his basketball, cuz his friends and him were playing with it and a friend of him puts the ball under the third rail. They were playing on the rails like 3x... And people complaint on why the t/a cuts service.... They lose money from law suits.. If he was shocked and dead, the t/a il get in trouble.. I didnt get caught anyways.. The R68 was very close leaving Ave H on the EXP trk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted March 22, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 22, 2010 That is way crazy. Teenagers plays basketball almost everywhere including dribbling while crossing a street, or on station platform. I remember there was mother and baby drop baby milk bottle at 5th Av-53rd St and bystander went into get it for her. When I drop dispersal camera, which contains photo of new South Ferry, I reported to station agent. I also remember I saw few teenagers ridding bike on elevator area on bottom street level. I also seen little kid ridding on scooter at Jamaica Station concourse on Airtrain(JFK)/LIRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I if there was no crews around so i didnt bothered... but what ever. So its not my fault in any case.. Most people saw but didnt cared.. Was looking but no one, otherwise it would be a waste of time to leave Avenue J station and cross for no reason.. Especially since its under renovation.. @EE Broadway Sorry i meant he throw the ball down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted March 22, 2010 Share #13 Posted March 22, 2010 Is there Customer Assistant Phone there or was taken done for renovation?

SubwayGuy Posted March 22, 2010 Share #20 Posted March 22, 2010 Other people could of done it, NOT just me... So there.. That doesn't justify it though. If every person took that attitude, nothing would get done about it...which sounds like exactly what happened. There's no risk to you in reporting it to someone. It's not like you're confronting the people on the tracks...there are cops who's job it is to that, all you're doing is "seeing something and saying something" the way NYers are asked to do.

2Line1291 Posted March 22, 2010 Share #21 Posted March 22, 2010 I mean....I like trains an everything but nobody ain't gonna find me on third rail getting anything....bump that. But everybody isn't perfect nor is everyone a dumbass and he was having one of those moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBuffer Posted March 22, 2010 Share #22 Posted March 22, 2010 Other people could of done it, NOT just me... So there.. When the train came, so did a Conductor and a Train Operator who could call it in. Not faulting you this time, nothing you can do about it now, but for next time .. there's no harm in telling an employee. It's either you or no one.
