Please don't take the A Express...

I saw The Taking of Pelham 123 this weekend. It was pretty darn thrilling. It was even creepier that the movie was taking place in New York, on a train that I've been on before. I would have freaked out if that had happened to me. This is not what I want to face on my way to work in the morning....

However, instead of making me fear the MTA more, I ended that movie going, "Wow, I have more faith in the MTA than I should." It taught me a lot about the safety procedures the MTA uses. For example, did you know that if a train encounters a red signal and does not stop, the brakes will automatically turn on? Stopping the train. You go MTA! (But, I have not forgotten all the minor annoyances you subject me to each day.) I will look past them today, and rejoice in your existence.

I leave you humming "Love Train."
