the “if you can’t get to JFK on the subway then we have bigger problems” story? I was approaching a young woman speaking with a MTA worker in a florescent vest at the 14th Street station this evening. ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘You take the train North to get to FarRockaway.’ “Are you sure?’ she queried. ‘Yes, you want to go Uptown,’ he said. And he pulled in another small MTA worker in a florescent vest, who agreed with him. I was almost passed them, when she looked me right in the eyes, and said, ‘Can you tell me, do I go Uptown to get to FarRockway?’ ‘Yes,’ said the 1st little man, with the assent given by his buddy co-worker. ‘No’, I said, ‘You have to go Downtown, toward Brooklyn, because the train, first goes Downtown, then all the way through Brooklyn and then to Queens in the North. ‘No, no’, my two bobbing heads are saying. ‘Look,’ I said, ‘If she were going to the JFK Airport, she would take the A train to FarRockaway, and that would be a Brooklyn bound train, because it goes to Downtown and then through Brooklyn….’ and before I could finish, the two of them were saying, ‘Yes, yes! Downtown! Yes!’, and they walked away happily. As she said thank you and turned to go, I called after her, ‘Remember, there are… and before I could finish, she called back, ‘Two A trains and I have to get on the one that says FarRockaway.’ Oh, to be in the know.
