Peter Vallone Doesn’t Have a Posse (and other Subway Musings)

I guess I missed this, but apparently some time early this month, Andy Cheung followed inspiration from a Gothamist thread and created a template to let people create their own subway service signs – the ones that are usually found tacked to the support beams in New York’s subway stations informing riders of the problems facing them that day.

The template, found at WhereAndy.com , creates mock service signs for any subway line in New York, with your own custom message. The signs have even started cropping up in stations for the past few weeks, with messages ranging from political (“Peter Vallone Doesn’t Have a Posse”) to pure mockery (“Not Running On Time. Ever.”).

New York’s own 24-hour news channel New York One covered the trend and found that most subway riders were bemused. Subway workers less so.
