A man so fascinated with the city’s public transit system that he’s turned his life into a train wreck is in trouble again.

Darius McCollum, who became a New York sensation when he commandeered a subway at age 15, was arrested Saturday after police found him in a secure area of Manhattan’s Columbus Circle station wearing clothing that resembled a transit worker’s uniform.

The arrest marked the 23rd time the 43-year-old was arrested on charges of pretending to be a transit worker.

Over the years, he has donned MTA uniforms and cheerfully collected fares, cleared trash from tracks, put out underground fires.

But he’s also driven MTA buses and trains, including a time in 1981 when he made headlines as a teenager by taking the controls of a subway full of passengers and piloting it to the World Trade Center.

Hardly just a youthful prank, it was the first of many forbidden rides. By the mid-1990s, frustrated Transit Authority officials posted thousands of wanted posters in trains and stations so riders could report McCollum sightings. But most riders who ran into him found him simply friendly and helpful.

On Saturday, officers of the NYPD’s Transit Queens Task Force spotted McCollum as he entered a secure area. He was wearing a hardhat and the typical blue T-shirt and pants of track workers, and carried a flashlight and gloves with a Transit Authority logo.

Police said he also had “written material containing knowledge of the transit system.” McCollum was charged with criminal impersonation, criminal trespassing and criminal possession of burglar tools.

He was awaiting arraignment on Saturday. Calls to Manhattan Criminal Court went unanswered.

In a statement, the New York Transit Authority thanked the officers who made the arrest, saying, “It is not difficult to imagine how much harm could be caused by someone impersonating a New York City Transit worker.”

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:

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?

Found this on youtube and decided to share.

A Massachusetts woman traveling to Oklahoma City with her three young children has given birth to a fourth child during rush hour at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.

The Authority says 32-year-old Cheryl Peterson of Somerville, Mass., alerted officials at the midtown terminal she was going into labor during her layover Tuesday.

Six police officers and emergency medical technicians rushed to help Peterson, who was nine months pregnant. The Port Authority says the woman was preparing to go to an ambulance when she told them, “The baby’s coming out right now.”

A spokesman says the baby girl was delivered about 5:52 p.m. near Gate 24 in the south wing.

Cheryl is doing well at St. Vincent’s Hospital.
