Everyday we New Yorkers ride the subways and have to face a whole lot of trials, just to get to work or get home. Yet however event though the conditions seem to get worse and worse (at certain stations mind you, cause it seems that some stations get a lot more attention) our fares get higher and higher. GO FIGURE!!!!

Well the people of the Straphangers Campaign came up with a list of the Ten Plagues that affect our subway system.

These are the subway curses of:

• Overcrowding
• Delays
• Long waits
• Flooding
• Summer heat
• Dirty seats
• Garbled announcements
• MetroCard mis-swipes
• Just missing a train
• Traveling with your newborn

Personally i think they left out all the fermins that runaround like subway station mascots….

How about in your city? What are your Ten Plagues?

A teenager was arrested in a nearly fatal Brooklyn hit and run that sent a 9-year-old boy to the hospital in critical condition.

Shyquan Burns, 16, was charged as an adult. The accident which occurred around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Reid Avenue and Macon Street in Bed-Stuy.

Witnesses said Burn’s white Dodge Charger was speeding down Reid when it struck 9-year-old Akeem Suluki as he crossed near P.S. 262 with the help of a crossing guard.

“She tried to pull him back. She wasn’t fast enough and the car hit him,” Akeem’s sister Shaniqua Harris said.

His mother, Khadija Suluki, said, “That’s my baby. Out of six kids. That’s my baby.”

Community leaders joined Akeem’s family last night at King’s County Hospital.

“He’s bleeding in the brain. His lung is collapsed. He has a cast from his waist down,” Suluki said.

State Police say David Masters, 57, of Cleveland was riding on Roosevelt Road in Constantia Saturday afternoon when he was hit from behind by a motor home driven by James Crowell, 60, of Cicero. Investigators say Crowell told them he checked on Masters’ condition after the crash and then left the scene. They say a passerby called 911.

Masters was taken to University Hospital in Syracuse. Crowell has been charged with first-degree vehicular assault and aggravated DWI.
