I think he understands “NEXT” just fine. It’s the word “LAST” that appears to be lost on him.

UGH! I hate when this happens. The MTA needs some type of digital signage on the train (inside and out) to alert riders about changes in stops. Maybe they can use our increased fare (because really, where does that money go to??) to make this happen.

At least he spoke English. It’s a step in the right direction.
