How fast you can stab the off button in the bottom-right corner of those screens is one of the tests of how much of a real New Yorker you are, along with knowing which door of which subway car to board, depending on your stop.
The problem is that not every screen has the ‘off’ button in the same place. Which should totally be against the law
