holytoastrMy commute this morning was a bit of a nightmare. I think it was metro's way of making up for the good service I had last Friday.
When I got to the station, the platform was totally packed. A train pulled up a few minutes after that, but it was almost full. The driver told everyone not to force themselves in because an empty train was right behind her.
She lied, of course. There was no empty train.
About 20 minutes later, another nearly full train arrived. By that point, the platform was dangerously full and all the escalators had to be shut off.
10 minutes after that, an empty train finally arrived.I managed to force myself in. Barely.
Our train was so full, it was unable to take on extra passengers at the next couple stops. And we nearly broke the doors. Finally we got to the city and people began to trickle out, but so many other people were waiting at each station that there never was any chance to spread out and breathe.
I had to push my way out to get off at my stop. It was unpleasant. I hope whatever was broken is fixed by the evening commute. I do not want to go through that again.
