Working for the MTA, this is something that I witnessed too many times. 😪Some of the situations could have been avoided if people would just listen to you. I saw a woman die screaming 😱 once because she sat on the edge of the platform with her legs dangling! I told her " miss please get up! Don't do that! I was told to mind my business 😳. I walked away....about 10 minutes later....the SCREAMING 😱😱😱....😪. People have a mind of their own... they're going to do whatever they WANT to do, no matter what you say🤷🏾. I had tried 😭
