random transportation observations

thanks to the prohibitive cost of taxicabs and their total absence when you need them anyway, i have had more exercise this past week than in the entire past year cumulatively. also, thanks to letris on my ipodtouch, waiting for the train or bus is now a non-event. except that the little ubiquitous screens have made each of us entirely a kingdom unto himself and oblivious to the humanity crushing into our noses. the subways and buses are peopled with single minded unseeing zombies en route to their busy lives.

best public transport innovation: those electronic boards that tell you when the next bus is arriving at the station. THEY ACTUALLY WORK.
