A Train, A Train or A Train to the Airtrain
As I wait (and wait, and wait) to board the first leg of today’s journey — the A train to JFK — I’ll take a moment to explore one of the city’s greatest mysteries: the MTA. New York City has one of the most expansive public transportation systems I’ve seen anywhere in the world, but many trains means much confusion for tourists and even some locals. To make matters worse, multiple trains on the same line often serve different destinations. Take the A train to JFK station, for example: only two of the three Brooklyn-bound A trains service the airport station — Far Rockaway or Rockaway Park trains — if you happen to board the express to Lefferts Blvd, you might have a bit of a walk ahead. If you’re boarding at JFK Airport, however, any train that stops will take you to Manhattan.
Dear Zach,
Yesterday I stumble upon your blog as I was planning to have my own blog.. basically focusing on my experience working and living in Nepal.
Your blog is very interesting and informative as well. I am really impressed by your sense of humour and pungent writing..
best,
Sujata
