I remember the terrible heat on the IRT in the summer. John Lindsey who was the mayor at that time said that the IRT couldn't be air conditioned because the profile of the car was smaller than the IND/BMT and there was no room for the equipment. What a jerk! That was one of the reasons I moved out of NYC. I didn't feel like going to work for the rest of my life wearing a suit and tie in a rolling oven. He also taxed the daylights out of me to pay for assorted deadbeats all of whom had a long sad story on why they couldn't pull their own weight. I think Guiliani is great. If he were mayor then I would still be in NYC.
