Reason 41: Sights and Smells of the MFL

100 Reasons I'm Retiring

I’ve ranted about the Market Frankford Line and its sticky floors before, but this rant is more safety warranted. You never know what you are going to see. On a recent trip to school, this is what I had to step over to get onto the train:

Yes, a person lying right in the doorway. And, yes, he was breathing. But, honestly, what should I have done? You never know what condition someone is in when you see this! So, I made sure he was breathing, stepped over him, and left my stop by another door.

I will NOT miss this.

For those of you who have commuted by public transportation, what would you have done? What’s the oddest thing you’ve seen?
