Brooklyn women working in Manhattan department stores jump on the back of one of the store's trucks and ride home, not in comfort, but they ride, and that is better than walking, September 7, 1920. The B.R.T. strike made riding a difficult question, especially during rush hours.

Miscellaneous notebook doodles
#art#tropical's art#collinlock16#minecraft arg but the protagonist is tired#You can barely see my aggravated notes towards Robert Moses (disciple of Le Corbusier and father of U.S. highways and various NYC parkways#(He disliked the idea of buses being on highways and public transport in general so I think that's why the U.S. is so automobile focused)#(But I digress)#(Actually no I don't what was Le Corbusier thinking with his vision of the Radisnt City which was tall skyscrapers with underground highway#(Where said skyscrapers are 60 stories tall surrounded by a park and are interconnected)#(TBH killing the street and removing the pedestrian from it so there would be no car accidents is kinda okay as an idea but whatever)#(Fun fact! Most NYC Housing Projects follow his vision which I can clearly see in my neighborhood but I finally digress)#Idk how I got attached to the doomed kid AKA AwesomeG#They didn't deserve any of that :[ I hope we get more content about them (they've already served their narrative purpose)

Northbound Conrail RDC 53 pauses at Katonah, NY, November 1982
Certain midday "off peak" runs were handled by a single Budd Rail Diesel Car (RDC), many of former New York Central heritage. By 1982 the service was operated by Conrail for the MTA, in 1983 the service would be taken over by Metro-North. Notice the conductors are helping a passenger off with their luggage. In another two years this portion of the Harlem Line would be electrified with third rail, the station canopy razed, and a new high-level island platform constructed just north of Jay Street crossing. Conrail 53 is ex-NYC M453. Photo by Arthur J. Deeks

These Brooklynites use a motor scooter for their transportation to work as a strike of subway employees continued into the second day, December 10, 1957. From left: Ronnie Harron, George Nicholson, Peter Garland, and John Avildsen (yes, the future film director). Instead of pushing into whatever subway trains were still running, the quartet squeezed onto the scooter for their above-ground ride.

€1,850 a month for this btw.
Nearly 50% of the pre-tax median wage for the city to live in a tiny studio apartment.
#it's a nice studio true#but the number of people who can afford this is...low#and you're paying so much for WHAT#to live in a shitty rundown city with barely-functioning public transportation#in a tiny parochial backwater country on the edge of the Atlantic#this isn't NYC lmao
