But if I get a seat and I get 15 more minutes reading or staring out the window, then I’m probably not calling that a complete waste.

If you told New Yorkers they had the option to live 15 minutes longer, but that is added time on the NYC subway, I think most would turn it down.

Getting a seat on the NYC subway? Lol.

Quite doable these days; I'd say 90% of my recent rides (Q, B, A, C lines).

Was a total piece of cake in 2020, of course %)
