One lucky pup found compassiom in a most unlikely place: The New York City subway.

Dakota, aka Loppy the dog, was playing with her dog walker at a park in Brooklyn on Friday when the pooch managed to escape. Frightened, the poor pup ran to a place that she knew — the Jay St. station — and ended up inside the dangerous subway tunnel.

“It’s a familiar place for her, we commute together every day. She entered, ran across the platform, and at some point either fell or jumped in,” Dakota’s owner, Caroline Francis, posted to her Facebook.  Read more…

Getting around a city can be a nightmare, but luckily with the invention of Twitter, transport networks like @NYCTSubway can lend a hand.

Or not.

A few days ago, the official NYCT account tweeted some travel advice to a baffled citizen. Actually, advice might be a strong word…

@Lzzzy_Hi, which 20 Av are you referring to D or N line? If 20 Av D line, take N train to 14 St for L to 6 Av or 8 Av for A, C, D , E or F to West 4 St. If 20 Av – N line take shuttle bus to 59 St for R train to 14 St for L to 6 Av or 8 Av for A, C, D, E or F train to W 4 St ^JG

Congrats to the New York subway system for making an active attempt to be less awful.

The MTA’s trains and busses will reportedly be doing away with automated announcements that include gender-specific terms like “ladies and gentlemen.” Instead, they’ll be replaced with more inclusive language like “passengers,” “riders,” and “everyone.” Read more…
