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

DAY 61

Just need to say... There are just TWO line items. I don't think we need the arriving trains to be numbered! It is not a list. It ends up looking like 14 and 34 since the trains are numbered. I care about the time of arrival not the order in which the trains arrive. Why complicate it when the whole point of having a digital sign is to simplify things? 

DAY 60

I just bumped into a guy wearing a backpack that had a hammer dangling from the side pocket. Reminded me of the time I saw a trio of guys on the A train: One guy had a crow bar, another had a screwdriver and the third held an ice pick. It was one of the few times I actually felt fear while riding the train. Gotta watch your back on the A!
