The Long Road

05/28/2003 Archived Entry: "O"

Took the O-train for the first time yesterday! I’ve been wanting to try it out but never got around to it. The O-train is probably the greatest thing ever! The train can get from South Keys (where I live) to pretty much downtown in 15 minutes. It takes around 40 minutes by bus on a good day and almost the same by car. The train saves me so much time! The thing only makes 5 stops per trip and not many people seem to use it so it’s nowhere near as stuffy as the bus. The chairs have high backs and are really comfortable. A soothing female voice announces the upcoming stops so you don’t even have to pay attention to the scenery to know when to get off. All in all a remarkably pleasant experience!

Can you believe I wrote this whole thing without an O-train pun??
