Riding the New York subway at certain times is hell in which, as in other big cities, you get into a wagon loaded to the brim with passengers to enjoy a trip full of intense aromas. Nothing new under the sun. But what if a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 explodes in a wagon full of travelers? that's what the New York authorities want to avoid.
And it is that through its Twitter account, the MTA (the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in its acronym in English) has published this warning to users of the New York subway so that turn off your Galaxy Note 7 phablets when using their services.
You can't use your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in the New York subway
This prohibition, which is valid for both New York City subway and bus service, applies when entering any MTA station, where the user must turn off their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 "due to concerns generated by a possible explosion of its battery). This rule also applies to the drivers of the different transport services of the company, as expected.
One of the reasons for this prohibition comes from the fact that some MTA buses have ports available to charge phones And, taking into account that the explosions of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 batteries have occurred while the devices were being charged, with this measure possible problems are avoided. And they almost did Samsung a favor.
The Korean company is managing to reduce to the maximum the negative impact that has generated all the controversy that surrounds the Galaxy Note 7, but if it were the case that a device exploded in a subway loaded with users, with the consequent injuries that it could cause, it could be the last straw for Samsung and its Galaxy Note 7, whose prestige is hanging by a thread.
