A New York state lawmaker is proposing a new law for eating on the subway in response to apparent complaints and two crazy Youtube videos. One of the videos showed two women in fistacuffs over eating food on the subway while the other showed a live rat crawling up a man's sleeve while taking a ride on the subway. The law would dish out a $250 fine if you were caught eating on the subway. The lawmaker said he's trying to address the subway system's obvious rat problems with the new law.
Okay, I understand what he's trying to do here but, $250? I mean, that's just flat out ridiculous! And let's not forget that the subways are below ground so I don't know if cutting down on eating and trash will get rid of the rat problems entirely. Also, how are they going to enforce such a law? Are they going to have some food eating watchdog at every one of the city's 461 stations? Seems like a waste of time to me!
