A straphanger's diary of the ridiculous happenings aboard the A train. A circus of entertainment for only $2.50!

DAY 40

Half of the sliding door won't open. Took extra long to get on the train. Broken.

DAY 39

There was a woman sitting on the tunnel walkway by the A train at West 4th street. She was holding a sign that said "need help no job rent food" and had a two-year-old boy near her. He walked down a few feet from his mom and started laughing as he urinated on the wall. Dozens of people were walking by. The subway is underground, but it is indoors! So vile. In ten years this kid will be peeing on the plants in his living room.
