Well, yeah that smelly dude is standing a little to close to you, but at least the trains aren’t on fire.
Ok, that’s an exaggeration.
There was a manhole fire near the 33rd Street PATH station around noon today. Apparently, the smoke caused damage to the signal system on the PATH lines near this station.

I feel like I am running into the most bitchy people on the subway lately. I mean this week!
There seem to be an especially high number of moody bitches causing problems on the train. For what ever reason, it has still be crowded in the morning even though many schools are off this week. So [...]
