Today I was reminded why the East Side can be a major problem as far as public transportation is concerned. I was heading off to the subway just like any other day…ho hum. I get to the subway and I notice a lot more people coming out, than going in the station. Not that my area doesn’t have a lot of people wandering around, but when you see people in their suits and such grumbling as they come out…not a good sign.
I ask and someone grumbles “no service. no power.” Oiii. So immediately I start hiking west to 5th avenue hoping to catch a bus before it gets too crowded. Called work to notify I may be a tad late. Did get a bus and actually got here around 8:40…not too bad!
