Six train woes….
This morning, no different then last morning other the the explanation, I arrived at the NYC Metro station right on time to get to work at 10:15am. Paid my paltry 2 dollar fare for access to the wonderful sights and smells existing in the station. And I waited. An uptown 6 went by. More waiting, a downtown 4 came and went. More wait… another uptown 6 goes by followed by another uptown 6. This went on for 15 minutes, just when I was thinking I should take a 4 downtown, the 6 downtown arrived. Horay, it went 2 stations, Next stop on this train will be 14th, there is a 6 directly behind. Ok, get out, wait. wait some more. Directly behind? 3 trains went past going uptown until the next downtown 6 came by. got on, AFTER the train started to move, NEXT stop 42nd followed by 14th. Great. Well, I figured that I’d get a 6 uptown from 14th street. That only took another 10 minutes and 3 trains going downtown. I only arrived an hour late to work today. Pretty good for manhattan I guess.
What a way to run a railroad.
