MTA Subway Riders Get New Rules

The MTA approved a new set of rules for subway riders, although the changes lack the provision on open containers such as water bottles. MTA officials insisted such bottles had been and are still prohibited. The New York Times on summing up the enforcement of oopen containers: "The police will use common sense. Riders are asked to do the same." That is of course, assuming the police have any common sense. In other news, police searching the bags of riders have still found zero bombs.
