MTA Releases 8-Bit PSA: “A Subway Delay Story”

Posted on by

MTA 8-bit 1

As if random brawls, stinky camped-out homeless folks, and raving lunatic preachers weren’t enough of a problem on the New York City subways, there’s always a guarantee chance your train will be catastrophically delayed. How in the name of Bill de Blasio could this happen?

To answer that age-old question, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority released a neat little video about the cause of train delays, and the steps they take to alleviate them. Oh, and by the way, they produced the videos with 8-bit animation and old school video game music.

Watch it below. It’s easily the best thing the MTA has done since they started cracking down on the annoying “showtime” dancers.
