The light rail that should have been a metro, and the monorail that… is perfectly fine for a tourist attraction.

New Transit Card acquired! And train #5

Downtown was hidden behind the clouds as we were arriving, but I got a very good view of the airport as we flew past it

When I was here (at this exact terminal) 4 weeks ago, it took about an hour to get through the security line—today it took less than 15 minutes, even with the TSA being incredibly inefficient and otherwise bad at their jobs. Anyway; here’s (Air)bus #2? Plane #1

It’s like they’re *intentionally* trying to make it harder to take public transit to the airport; still, it’s Train #4

Fun fact: if you take the JFK Airtrain to Howard Beach, to transfer to the subway, it costs $8.50 plus a subway fare. If you take it to Howard Beach to the rideshare parking lot, it’s free! Seems bad! At least it’s also free if you take the bus to Lefferts BLVD—

My first interaction with the redesigned Queens Bus Network; my first time on the “new” Q80 is Bus #1

Trains #2 and #3. Not waiting for trains this early really makes me wish I was a morning person.

Most cars don’t have cameras in them—most people who are driving like this are not being *recorded* as they do so! It’s scary to think about the potential scale of this, especially given just how often I see drivers clearly violate traffic rules of every different stripe

Even assuming she is at the high end for risky driving behavior, you have to ask, if she was willing to flaunt the rules this much *while being recorded*, how much risk would she take when not being recorded? And how willing are most people to take similar risks when *they* are *not* being recorded?
