Tuesday the 7am bus was packed and this guy had his phone on speaker the whole ride. Friday I caught the 8am bus instead and it was half empty. I looked around and realized most people on the early bus were heading to a factory shift that started at 6. My new rule is I avoid the worker rush. Anyone else notice certain times are way calmer?
It was a Tuesday evening around 6pm, packed like sardines on the 7 train in Queens. We stopped in the tunnel near 46th Street and just sat there. No announcements for the first 15 minutes, just silence and people sweating. Finally the conductor said something about a signal problem ahead. Now I always carry a backup battery pack and a bottle of water when I ride that line. Has anyone else had a long stall on the 7 that made them change their routine?
