Never Leave Your Car
Originally uploaded by subatomicfilms.
You can be late for anything in NYC and the most common excuse is 'The train was so late!', then everyone gives a knowing glance followed by an 'I know what you mean. The MTA totally sucks.'
Of course, there are legitimate delays, but most don't last a couple of minutes. Let's be honest, people know how long it takes to get from point 'A' to point 'B', and with hopstop giving excellent directions, there is no real excuse for being late in anywhere.
However, on the off-chance that a serious train delay screws up your life I never knew that you could request a 'train delay verification letter', from the MTA that will support your alibi. Apparently, they send out hundreds a week.
Starting next year the whole system will be online making it easier for you to prove your case. Or for bosses to call you out.
