The MTA is selling “Memorabilia & Collectibles” (read: “used garbage”). Would your significant-other like a $300 tatty refuse canister or a $500 beat-up two passenger bus seat for Christmas?
The MTA is all about “giving” this year. They’ve been giving us delays, headaches, and now, they want to give us their old junk, and no, not for free.
Looking for the perfect gift for that special someone? Why not treat the love of your life to $500 tired old subway seat? Nothing says “I love you” like second-hand trash fodder, am I right?
The subway seat is just a drop in the ocean of sad old transport paraphernalia taken from our buses and subway cars. You can check out the full list of items for yourself here.
Try as hard as we can, we simply can’t find “cheaper MetroCards” or “reliable subway cars” on there. Here are some of the gems you CAN find though:
