did they somehow FORGET that it's MONDAY?!?!?!?!? I get to the stop a little later than normal but know that there is usually an R right at 8:07 and I will still get to work ON TIME as long as I get this and do a little bit of brisk walking. 8:14 and of course the station is PACKED---NOT A GOOD SIGN!!!!!! Of course the V train arrives. It is jam packed full of people. I get in...my arms losing circulation trying to hold my bags and also hold the nearest bar which seems far away because there are so many people. The train moves slower than sin first of all...then stops for 5 minutes at the next to last stop. "Train traffic ahead!!!" BULLSHIT!!!!!! FINALLY we get to my stop...of course people are pushing and angry all morning....whatever. I hop onto the six. Then of course you have 5 or 6 people last minute holding the damn doors open so they can get in. I had my headphones on...but didn't realize that what I was thinking was coming out of my mouth...evidentally something like "YOU PEOPLE ARE ASSHOLES" came out....as several people around me looked...and then a guy got up out of his seat and started yelling at those people....I mean screaming at them....I felt bad because I probably started something-but it serves them right. Assholes.
As I get out I hear someone say that the R service was suspended in the morning...WHY WAS this NOT announced?!?!? I'm going to start making it a habit of going to the web site to see if there are any service changes. But who knows if it will be accurate. As I'm riding I see one of MTA's cheesy signs saying how green they are and that they're proud. I'm so happy they're green....but please run MORE trains and get people to where they need to be ON TIME!
Ahhhh public transportation. It's still better than paying gas, car insurance, car payment...etc...but GOD this morning I would have done anything to just been back to the days when I hopped in my quiet, clean car and drove to work.
C'est la vie.
