It's New York, no-one pointed with their middle finger?

They still have conductors?

Mind you their system does remind me of the tube in the 80s.

Brilliant - ! Known as the Zebra Board and confirms the driver - sorry "Motorman" in old non PC terms has stopped at the right point for the train to be platformed and doors properly opened ! .....I guess it is part of the rigorous training they go through and they can get disciplined for not doing it. 100% compliance on this film.
