Traveling is Fun!

Many people, especially those of us of the "broke phi broke" persuasion, eventually convince ourselves that we prefer taking the late-night subway to the simple, quick taxi.

We tell ourselves:

"Selves, we take the subway because we are mindful of our finances and constantly thinking about our futures. Anyway, taxi's are for snobs and we love the gritty urban world that is the NYC MTA. Boy do I love the subway!"

But sometimes we walk down into the happy abyss that is the subway station and are rudely greeted with this:




I mean... as much as I appreciate the honest heads up about the next sad hour of my sad existence, I'd rather be lied to and beaten in the neck by Kimbo Slice than told to wait 47 minutes for the L train.

Some blame Bloomberg. I blame Kanye.

Imma let you finish but the 2/3 train is the best train of all time.

ALL TIME!

Tastemaker: I guess that joke hasn't gotten old to me yet.

Also pedicabs are (questionably) the way to go

The L is the only train that can force me to take the bus. Or convince myself I can "use the exercise" and walk across 14th Street from 8th Avenue to Avenue B.

And MLR, fine line between touche and go suck an egg.

The G train back from Shea is one of the finer experiences someone can have. Do you Hanover-living posers even know where the G goes?

Hopefully towards relevancy.

I'd also accept better team.

How dare you. I'll laugh in your face when Angel Pagan leads us to the promised land in 2010.

Its the only one that doesn't go to the big island, how can you not love that?

I'm confident that I could walk the full length of the L tracks in under 67 minutes. In my humble opinion, the award for "Train the Makes Me the Most Murderous in the Least Amount of Time" goes to the 1... which has been under construction... since the beginning of time.

Wow, I've never seen the waiting time for a subway climb into hour-plus territory! But then again, the C-Train doesn't display its waiting times...
