Train surfing is just plain dummy behavior

I know I should have compassion for this person, but they are bringing it upon themselves for a stupid thrill. That sort of selfishness is angering because it affects more than themselves. It affects all their loved ones more.

not_davySep 16 at 10:30 AM

If the person lives, that person should be sued by the MTA for the delays caused by said action. If the person dies, take it from their estate.

newyorkUser1424397020Sep 16 at 5:33 PM

@not_davy he did not survive even if he did it was a teen that has no estate

Agirlhasn0nameSep 16 at 11:55 AM

The MTA needs to start billing the parents for subway surfing. It's dangerous and disruptive to thousands of riders. That's why kids act this way. There's no consequences anymore

@Agirlhasn0name if the kids are peer pressured by other kids or even forced into it the parents who had no clue should still suffer?
