“This is Hoyt and Schmerhorn. Transfer is available across the platform to the C Train. C as in CHARLIE. Stand clear of the closing doors please.” <Pause>. “Ladies and Gentlemen there is currently an F train in front of us please be patient. I would also like to inform you that there will not be a an F Train following us for quite some time so if you wish to transfer consider doing it at Smith and 9th Street so you can enjoy this wonderful weather.”
I’m not sure if anyone else has been on the G Train while this guy has driven it but I have twice now. He is someone who is MADE for his job. It’s kind of hard to take him seriously sometimes. You wonder if he is just trying to make the day go by faster by excessively giving information about the trains over the intercom. You wonder if it is a parody against most subway train conductors who barely mutter into the intercom and leave you guessing what the hell is actually going on. All I know is when I’ve ridden the G train with this guy as the conductor people actually listen to him and laugh because it’s so excessive. I’d like to give this guy 2 thumbs up and say thank you for making my commute to work that more interesting and bearable today. Hears to New Yorkers that make every minute count (and more randomly wonderful).
