When the subway screeched to a halt, more than half of the car cleared out—an exodus of scared civilians. I’m surprised anyone stayed behind. Many of us scrambled into adjacent cars, something surprisingly difficult to do before the doors close again. Now I could watch him through the window, from the end of my new car into his. My legs were shaking.
I really felt like I was there on that carriage with you in New York! It took me back to my visits to the city.
I grew up riding public transport a lot - to school and later uni. It is the great equalizer in many ways, with people from all walks of life hopping on and off. Now my eldest is 6, when we go to Melbourne she simply must ride on a bus, tram or train. We've met some, erm, loud? passengers and it ends up being such a opportunity to have a chat about how people live differently afterwards.
