Dr. Angus Andrea Grieve-SmithCalling the OMNY customer service line, and for the first time in my life I heard the message "This call may be recorded for training purposes" followed with, "If you would not like to be recorded, press X."
What a concept!
Angus Andrea Grieve-SmithWhy do I still #WearAMask on the bus? Because we're in the middle of #flu and #RSV waves, and #COVIDIsNotOver.
I'm vaccinated against #influenza and #COVID19, but not #RSVirus. Even if I can handle them, I don't really want to get sick, and I definitely don't want to pass them on to someone more vulnerable!
This #NYCTransit Q53 bus was packed, and the ventilation is just not that good. At one point someone sitting across from me let out a big wet cough.

TaliNY subways (pt. 7 in this series of posts)
Coming from Vancouver with our functional but very limited couple of Skytrain lines, seeing an actually-complete subway network for the first time was an eye-opening experience.
It was also a lot of fun to take longer-exposure photos in the somewhat dim stations. There's a lot more where these came from, so follow along if that sounds interesting!
