Zoo York Transportation Spectacles
(2008-09-30 at 20:17:12 )

And now a look at some of New York City's Wierd Transportation Spectacles!!!

I wish I had pictures of the bellicose thugs and egomaniacs who get on a bus
and block up as much of the aisle as possible so that they can make everyone
request to go past them or give these passing people some of their wisecracks.

If I took any pictures of these People(?) I would be placing my life in Peril!

However, I was able to capture the woman in the top photo who made sure that
just about everyone, getting on or off of the bus, got a foot jab from her.

I do not know the rational for such behavior; but I can say, with conviction,
that this kind of thing is very common in New York City. As a matter of fact;
I hardly ever get on a bus where no one has their leg, or legs, in the aisle.

Photo number two is on a Manhattan bus. If you look closely at the front of
the bus you will see a person in a wheelchair on the left hand side of the bus.

On the right hand side of the bus is a woman seated with her " walker " out in
the aisle of the bus. The walker folds up, but this woman has no intention of
folding it up. She has a Typical New York " Kiss My Ass " Attitude!!

Although there are seats in the back of the bus the riders can not get to them
because the aisle is blocked up. Therefore they are all standing in the front
of the bus.

Naturally the female bus driver does not see a thing in her mirror and lets
this ongoing insane situation continue as she just drives down the street.

Photo number three is a Staten Island Knucklehead in his thirties laying down
across five seats with his bicycle laying on the floor of the train as he
stretches his muscles daring Anyone to say Anything to him About his Stunt.

There has to be some kind of chemical in the air, or in the water, of New York
City that brings this sort of belligerent stuff out of people.

Photo number four was taken onboard the Staten Island Railway. As I watched
this pidgeon traverse the train towards me I wondered what it was thinking as
it searched for crumbs to eat.

I thought to ask it for a transit union card because it was performing a union
job onboard the train car. I also wondered just how close it would come to me.

How close did it come?? It went under my seat like I was not even there; and
pecked around, under there, for quite a while. The bird left when other people
finally boarded the train car.

Picture number five is a scene that I came upon in Manhattan's Chinatown!!

There is no one within the locked ambulance. I found out later that the EMT's
were inside someone's apartment, and not eating within a local restaurant.

The truck driver could not go forward: nor could he back up without causing
some damage, so he, and his truck, had to just sit there in the middle of the
narrow street. I do not know just how long he sat there because it was time
for me, my camera, and my cane to finish what I had to do.

There's never a dull moment in The Big Rotten Apple!!!
