Yeah I remember those stories. A big reason I’ll never hop cars on a train unless someone is trying to stab me or something.

It's a lesson we all learn - unfortunately first hand for some of us.

Sounds like college. My campus had a bus system and my buddy after a night of drinking puked on the floor at the front of the bus. Right after, the bus started moving and the puke made its way to the back of the bus. You could hear people saying “what the fuck” in a wave all the way to the back.

One of this biggest red flags ever; actually buying crypto.

I‘ve learned that same lesson that same way. Never, ever get into the empty car.

I grew up in NJ and was a commuter until 2 years ago, when I moved to town. Honestly surprised something like this didn’t happen to me sooner but here we are. Lesson learned. I feel like it’s a rite of passage.

Not a New Yorker are you?

This is a lesson every New Yorker learns eventually. In the summer, an empty car usually means no AC as well plus all of the above.

I believe it. I live in the same city, and I operate those trains.
We have a serious homeless and mental illness problem.
A homeless man stood in front of my A train at W 4 telling me was going to kill himself if people didn't give him money and someone on the platform told him to hurry up.
I had released the brakes and I was getting ready to take power when he hopped down like this was just something to do.
Held us up for an hour.

in Vail there is an awesome public transportation system, parts of it free, all of it affordable. the Puke Bus is fucking nasty. normally busses go down valley at least once an hour but certain shoulder seasons they change the schedule.
i ended up getting on the Puke Bus one night and had the the second to last stop. ie was wasted too but sober enough to get to the bus and seated in the back where it was empty. about five minutes in we are climbing a hill and a wave of piss and vomit comes sloshing back all over my shoes. so fucking gross.

They actually end up in legal limbo all the time. They rarely get approved for a green card or citizenship. DACA is the closest thing that has happened to them and that is an awful stressful place to be because they really have no control over their future and they were usually brought here as children,

I enjoyed this tale, and the way in which it was told. Thank you.

I've emailed them directly, and they converted my account as a student.

Also, I should clarify because this doesn't seem known. Being married to an American does not give someone the right to US citizenship. It makes them eligible to apply for a green card with a number that is not limited. However, it still takes 12- 18 months and costs at least 1500$ and that is when things are good.

For the R46 which is the main A train model and the R68 and R68A which are found on the B and D...
The cars are 75 ft, so when it goes around a curve, you can be thrown off the train and we don't do curves gently.
So the doors are locked.
I remember the last few months of 2021 and 2020 were just people getting run over by trains after they fell in between cars.

I don't know if you guys understand. China is not holding her hostage. The USA is the ones who are not letting her come into the USA yet.

You can't claim Asylum unless you come from an area where you are being persecuted. If it was that easy everyone would do it.

I think I cannot find where is the department that helps me. that link redirected to open a student account. Is it possible to reach them out if you switch to student account?

Shit. That’s pretty nuts. Does this kind of thing get worse in the winter? I feel like I see more when it’s cold and people are trying to get out of it.
