I rode the subway everyday in high school. I commuted a total of 3 hours roundtrip daily from Coop City to LaGaurdia, the “Fame” highschool!

That is pretty long, but was it worth it? Did you do your homework on the train?

I did lots of homework and I was an art major so I would sketch people💜

We rode the subway all of the time when I was a child. The subway and the bus were our main forms of transportation. Bus for in borough, subway if we had to go to Manhattan or Queens.

So the subway mean you were going somewhere “far” like getting on the freeway in California :slight_smile:

Yes! Once we took the subway all the way to Coney Island, but the memory of Coney Island is wiped entirely from my memory because I had to pee very badly on the long ride.
