Current and Planned Transit Research 96 Steven Markowitz 7. Conclusion Steven Markowitz 112 Executive Summary The mass public transportation system in New York City is of critical importance and astonishing magnitude. The economy, the environment and the overall welfare of New York and its businesses and residents depend upon the subways and buses. These subways and buses carry over 7,000,000 passengers per day. To do so, New York City Transit operates nearly 6,500 subway cars, which travel 685 track miles, and 4,500 buses, which traverse over 2,000 route miles. In 2003, New York City Transit had an operating budget of $4.9 billion and employed 48,110 workers. These many workers are essential to the efficiency and safety of the public transit system, which, in turn, relies upon the safety and well-being of transit workers in the performance of their jobs.

  • “Not That There's Anything Wrong with That”: A
    GRAAT issue # 2 – June 2007 “Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That”: A Queer Reading of Seinfeld Charlotte Gould Université Rennes 2 – Haute Bretagne One particular expression seems to spring to mind whenever one evokes the reference to homosexuality in a television series or serial: “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” The phrase appears in an episode of the 1990s American-sitcom- turned-cultural-phenomenon Seinfeld. In “The Outing” (4.57) a young journalist believes Jerry and George to be a gay couple—they bicker in front of her over an unwashed piece of fruit and George reproaches Jerry with not liking his shirt. She writes an article about it which is then taken up by the rest of the national press, and this to the dismay of both characters. Jerry comments thus upon the misunderstanding: “I’ve been outed, I wasn’t even in!” “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” is the leitmotiv of the episode, uttered every time a character denies they are gay or shows amazement at Jerry and George’s outing—though the fact that Jerry is admittedly thin, single, neat and in his late thirties makes the revelation less surprising to his neighbour Kramer. The sentence was introduced in the dialogue after the episode was almost cancelled when the executives at NBC thought it might offend the gay and lesbian communities and was not politically correct enough. Larry Charles, one of the writers of this specific show and a regular contributor to the programme, kept repeating the frightened mantra, which Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld eventually picked up on as a running joke rather than a warning, to great success what’s more, since “The Outing” went on to become a favourite, especially with the gay and lesbian communities, its catchphrase making its way into everyday talk.

  • Seinfeld Problem How Does a Local Network Revitalize a Classic Television Show to Ensure Daily Tune-In?
    OOH Case Study Seinfeld Problem How does a local network revitalize a classic television show to ensure daily tune-in? Solution Use OOH to immerse the audience in the show’s familiar environment. Background Seinfeld is a hugely successful, well-known brand, but after 25 years it’s an aging property. The challenge for this campaign was to revitalize the Seinfeld brand – making it appear fresh, buzzworthy, and relevant to today’s consumers. Objective The objective for the campaign was to announce Sein- feld’s time period change to 11PM on PIX11 and to make the show relevant to the consumer’s everyday life. The target audience was adults 18-49. Strategy The campaign created a big splash in the New York mar- ket with a standout OOH execution that extended the experience through multiple digital platforms. Seinfeld and the subway are synonymous with New York City, and the subway system is one of the most effective ways to reach a broad audience. To revitalize the brand and make the announcement relevant to the masses, New Yorkers were given a fully branded Seinfeld experience on the subway. The 7 Train was selected, as it’s a popular route from Queens to Manhattan target- ing a high volume of the show’s viewers and it was featured in the 1992 Seinfeld episode “The Subway.” The Seinfeld Wrapped 7 Train rolled out on Monday, May 12, giving consumers a pleasant surprise on their daily commute. The launch also aligned with the start of the 2014 TV Network Upfront week, capitalizing on the TV-related buzz in the market.

  • Environmental and Health Effects of Ventilation in Subway Stations
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review Environmental and Health Effects of Ventilation in Subway Stations: A Literature Review Yueming Wen 1 , Jiawei Leng 1,*, Xiaobing Shen 2, Gang Han 1, Lijun Sun 1 and Fei Yu 1 1 School of Architecture, Future Underground Space Institute, Southeast University, Nanjing 210019, Jiangsu, China; [email protected] (Y.W.); [email protected] (G.H.); [email protected] (L.S.); [email protected] (F.Y.) 2 School of Public Health, Station and Train Health Institute, Key Laboratory of Environmental Medicine Engineering, Ministry of Education, Southeast University, Nanjing 210019, Jiangsu, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-025-83790760 Received: 6 January 2020; Accepted: 5 February 2020; Published: 8 February 2020 Abstract: Environmental health in subway stations, a typical type of urban underground space, is becoming increasingly important. Ventilation is the principal measure for optimizing the complex physical environment in a subway station. This paper narratively reviews the environmental and health effects of subway ventilation and discusses the relevant engineering, environmental, and medical aspects in combination. Ventilation exerts a notable dual effect on environmental health in a subway station. On the one hand, ventilation controls temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality to ensure human comfort and health. On the other hand, ventilation also carries the potential risks of spreading air pollutants or fire smoke through the complex wind environment as well as produces continuous noise. Assessment and management of health risks associated with subway ventilation is essential to attain a healthy subway environment. This, however, requires exposure, threshold data, and thereby necessitates more research into long-term effects, and toxicity as well as epidemiological studies.

    Suggested New York Walking Tour NEW YORK Starting Point: Hostelling International New York City Address: 891 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10025-4403 Phone: 212-932-2300 Travel Tip: MUNDO traditionally purchases 7-day Metrocards for everyone to use for subway/bus travel during our visit to NYC. If you return to NYC in the future and want to get your own MetroCard be sure to purchase them in any subway station that sells them.

The station is at the intersection of 103rd St. and Broadway. • Take the #1 Subway to South Ferry (make sure you are at the front of the train because the South Ferry Station is not very big and cannot squeeze in the last cars of the train.) Tour Guide Notes: Welcome to the “Big Apple!” our journey begins with a trip to two of the most famous landmarks in this dynamic Metropolis the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. • Welcome to Battery Park- you are at the very tip of Manhattan and we begin our tour at the World Trade Center Memorial inside Battery Park, more on this later but remember this spot because this is where we will meet after Liberty & Ellis Island! We will continue to Castle Clinton where we will get our Ferry tickets to Liberty and Ellis Island.
