Our bus shelters are getting a new look. Keep an eye out as we work to deploy these new amenities in the coming months. Shelters help keep you safe, protect you from the elements and give you a place to sit. #tbt

Tweet that reads: Rich Mintz @richmintz lol imagine designing an enormous public destination so that it's illegal and dangerous to walk to Sign in the tweet: Hotel Guests attending events at MetLife Stadium cannot walk to the stadium and cannot walk back to the hotel from the stadium. It is illegal and dangerous to walk on the roadways surrounding the stadium. Please make the proper transportation arrangements. Thank you.

I loathe this.
