Weekend Service on a Weekday


The good ol' paper transfer... one of the "perks" of having to take a shuttle bus

A bad thing about having to work on a holiday, other than the obvious reason of having to work, is that public transportation run on a weekend schedule.  As an added bonus, in NYC weekend service changes due to construction remain in effect on this day.

Having lived here for so long you would think I would be aware of this, but every now and then I would have a memory lapse or be so preoccupied that I wouldn't be aware of the changes until I was literally on the train.

Thank goodness this time I remembered about the service change before I left the house!  Otherwise it would've meant a trip on the shuttle bus and I'm not too fond of cramming into a shuttle bus.

Regarding shuttle buses, if you timed it just right you can catch one that is empty.  My timing however, is always off and I always seem to get onto one that is beyond full and stand next to someone that is either crazy or has some anger issue.  This being the case I always try my best to avoid shuttle buses.
