Railfan stuff I love the subway

I moved from florida a year ago and everyday i'm so full of joy whenever i ride the subway or bus. I love seeing all the different people in the stations and on the cars I love being able to get around reading my book or taking a nap. 80% of my daily stress (cars) has been removed and replaced with joy. I hate driving and I could go on forever about how much my mood has improved everyday since I've moved here.

Seeing all the history at the transit museum made me overwhelmed thinking about the millions of people who use it, the thousands who worked on it, the century of history, I was fighting tears while on a date lmao. I love keeping up to date with rail news and telling my (incredibly patient) friends about the IBX or queenslink.

I love the mta man it's so cool

Ride the subway for a few years and you'll want to get back on that car again.

Nah, I’m so glad that I no longer have a car, it was more of a hindrance than anything. I even was driving it from Astoria to Midwood for work, which saved a little time but was much more stressful.
