Truth be told this argument is pointless as what you saw on CSI-NY
probably has no connection what-so-ever with the real NYC transit
system. There is no junction box anywhere in the subway tunnels that
will let you hook up a MP3 player to control the system. Rats, YES;
fancy junction box with blinking light which you can hack into to
control the subway system..NO. :)
We're talking about a city agency here. My guess is that the system is
still controlled mechanically and the only system wide computer network
in use by the MTA is the one that handles the metro card sales and their
use.
