Very clever move. Ideally located, (presumably) with security cameras etc already there, and provided by a transit authority- which are almost permanently cash-strapped.<p>In short: bring it to New York, please. But expect them to get dented late at night.
I've worked in close proximity to these guys, but the math behind their business still boggles me.<p>There are about 10 slots in their largest box, and they are charging $4 per slot. The average package will occupy the slot for a day before it is picked up. This gives a max revenue of $40/day/box, or $1200/month/box. Slash that figure in half because it is impossible to have all slots occupied simultaneously all the time, and you get $600/month/box.<p>If they can turn this into a profitable business, they are truly visionaries that see what others cannot.
I wouldn't have thought this would have ever got of the ground with potential security issues. An underground station would be the perfect place to plant explosives. In London they don't even have rubbish (trash) bins in the stations.<p>Perhaps only pre-approved retailers can deliver to it. That system's still open to abuse though.
