Special Guests: D train, 1 train, 2 train
There was a track fire by the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station this afternoon. It took me a couple stations--and verbal confirmations with fellow irate
passengers--to actually hear and understand the muffled, static
announcement. This resulted in my downtown express A turning into a local at 168th street. Just to put things into perspective, that is 15 miles away from Hoyt-Schermerhorn. So as to avoid an excruciating two-hour trip home, I jumped onto the D train at 145th street. The D has a useless route so I ended up transferring to the 1 and finally to the 2 train to get home.
Blue to Orange to Red
The A and 2 trains are like night and day. The 2 train is quieter and more spacious and it has comfortable seats, healthier lighting, cleaner air circulation, lighted station maps, and the absence of ruckus. It was like upgrading from a Super 8 to a W hotel.
(Side note: WTF is up with that long fenced/gated "tunnel" along the tracks at the Columbus Circle station? It just begs for koi fish and topiary.)
