Public Transport

Have you ever been kidnapped by the MTA? No ransom note, no call to my parents I’m sitting their yes I usually am lucky enough to get a seat, which in NYC is like winning the lottery. All of a sudden I hear an announcement. Less like a voice of a person and more like Charlie Browns teacher. I can’t really understand what their saying but I see the train has taken a different route. So I am at the MTA’s mercy. And they make that brilliant announcement. Attention passengers due to switching problems this train is being rerouted over another route, thank you for you cooperation. Do I have a choice? I’m locked in a metal tube speeding through a rat-infested tunnel…. can I really get off even if I wanted to? Usually it’s on one of those lines where the doors are locked…for your safety. For my safety or to prevent a mutiny???
