MTA Keeps Its Messiness Far, Far From You READ MORE: NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, SUBWAY, METRO, MTA

The Daily News today nudges all New Yorkers' favorite - and deserved - bogeyman, the MTA, by determining the ten worst stations in the city's subway system. There's "peeling paint, crumbling concrete, leaks and grime" in the ten, the paper says. The particularly bad news is that their locations demonstrate just the sort of inequality you'd expect: Five are in the Bronx, one is in Bensonhurst, and the only two in Manhattan are on the J/M/Z.

The good news, on the other hand, is that, thanks to that inequality, you're never actually in any of them.
