Last week, the train stopped in the middle of its run. There was a computer malfunction. It took two hours for my neighbor to come home; normally it only takes 30 minutes. He was stuck inside the train during rush hour. That train is pack like sardines. Imagine being in close proximity with a group of people in summer. Body heat, temperature rising, temperament explosion.
Boy, oh boy… that was hell, boy oh boy.
Skytrain attendants manually drove trains back to their platforms to ensure passengers could leave the system safely.
Wish me luck on my commute this week.
He was lucky. He has never been in the Philippines. 😀
Hell Boy? Really?
Check out the news channel. One kilometer lines to the station. 😦
Eek, I remember those days from London – never pleasant – hope things improve for you!
London is worse since it’s underground. I can only hope.
Best of luck, P!!
Three hours later!!! I finally made it home.
Great! I’ll bet the cats we really happy to see you, eh? =^.^=
No decent set up public transportation im Miami.
I suppose everybody drives.
Boy, oh boy… Good luck to you, seeker! Great photo 🙂
Thank you, Amy. I made it in three hours coming home. Took a scenic route by bus.
oh geez I remember the winter we had two years ago, when the tracks froze and a tree fell on the new west side forcing transit staff to drive the trains manually, man I hated that! 40+ min waits at each stop! :S
I missed that one, Any. So far, I manage to avoid the train when there is a problem. I take the bus instead even though I know it would take me longer coming home. Three hours….
Three hours! :O
All the best there. I know all to well how ‘reliable’ trains can be.
For most times, the train is reliable. We are lucky, there are plenty of buses to take us home but of course we are so use to taking the fast train. I made it home in three hours today.
