I commute to and from Manhattan during the workweek. I am now going to start taking the express bus, rather than the subway. This is more expensive, but safer. I do not want to be in the subway system if we have a day like London had when itā??s Underground was bombed. Hopefully, I will survive in time to retire from my job in a couple of years and will not have to deal with it anymore.

NYC needs more protection. The pork barrel method of allocating resources for it, which is currently being used, is ridiculous. If New York City goes down, so does the rest of the country - and "they" know this.
