Meditations on the Outer Boroughs, Pt. 2

Taking the train to the end of another borough can take a lot of time, and sometimes it takes longer than you expect, but usually even with delays, you will get there within maybe twenty minutes of when you think you will.

But when you drive in a cab and the google maps says it will take 30 minutes, and the last time you drove to the same place it took 30 minutes, it can still take 90 minutes, so even if you give yourself some extra time you can still show up 45 minutes late for your class. And classes are only 45 minutes long.

I'm sticking with the trains for the rest of the residency.
