The Straphangers Campaign just released its [Top Ten Worst and Best Events for City Subways and Buses in 2013](http://www.straphangers.org/bestworst2013/index.html?ref=bklyner.com), including [another fare hike](/blog/transportation/mta-approves-2-50-metrocard-and-broad-fare-hikes-starting-in-march), lengthy and expensive post-Sandy repairs, and [nasty platforms](/blog/transportation/subway-platforms-are-just-as-gross-as-you-suspected-says-new-study) (all worst), as well as the [price slash to the planned 2015 hike](/blog/transportation/metrocard-prices-will-rise-in-2015-2017-just-not-as-much-as-you-might-have-expected), implementation of Select Bus Service, and the [MTA Subway Time app](http://apps.mta.info/traintime/?ref=bklyner.com) (best, and we don’t have it yet).

We’d say our best MTA moment of 2013 was when [those adorable kittens made a mess of service](/blog/transportation/trains-stopped-at-church-ave-due-to-debris-or-cat-on-the-tracks) at the Church Avenue station (but of course, this is only because we weren’t waiting for the train that day), and our worst was [not having local service](/blog/transportation/q-line-overhaul-service-changes-start-july-8) on the Manhattan-bound Q for [months](/blog/transportation/northbound-service-at-cortelyou-beverley-parkside-stations-returns-monday), [only to return to scenes](/blog/transportation/this-weeks-b-q-subway-service-changes-21) like the one above, snapped by neighbor [Tony Gill](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151711198161744&set=o.335119629863420&type=1&theater).

From unexplained delays and rats on the tracks to the conductor holding the doors for you or [a fellow passenger offering you a shoulder](/blog/neighbors/do-neighborly-gestures-have-a-place-in-2013), what were the MTA-related moments this year that made you want to tear your hair out, and the ones that made you happy to own a MetroCard?
