the S line…
…as in the Shuttle that moves between Times Square and Grand Central. I took it every day for a full two years at my first job out of college. and now i take it every day this summer for my internship. and yet i still don’t understand its system. if you’ve taken it, you know that you wait for a train to arrive on one of three running tracks. unless, it’s announced on the loud speaker or it’s displayed on a screen, i never know which track the train is going to arrive on.
but people somehow always know which track to go to so i just follow them, feeling slightly skeptical because i wonder how in the world they know where to go. do the trains arrive in order? it’s like something i don’t understand but won’t ever really try to understand… kind of like i didn’t know until sometime in high school that thanksgiving falls on the last thursday of november.
