NYC subway riders group posts clever fare-hike protest poster--MTA worries riders will think there is a WTF line

OMG, MTA Annoyed at WFP's "WTF?" Posters



The MTA is not too happy about some recent satirical posters created by the Working Families Party. The posters mock the MTA's service posters with messages like "OMFG: $100/month fares, Services Slashed" and "Service Nightmare: All Day, Every Day." The Daily News reports that transit officials are calling them "offensive, improper or in bad taste," and are worried that riders may confuse them for real service alerts. Because everyone knows about the never ending construction on the WTF lines.

To learn more about the poster check out this page on the WorkingFamilyParty.org website. Or do what I did, visit saveoursubway.org and sign the petition to put pressure on King Mike to deliver on the promise he was apparently dumb enough to make during his campaign for a third term: fix the MTA.

Mike made his bed and it's up to New Yorkers to pressure him to sleep in it.
