I remember not being able to see out the windows, every inch of the cars interior and exterior having been covered. Trains constantly breaking down, being taken out of service, standing on stalled trains for long periods of time, with no explanation as to why.
You had to give yourself tons of time, just to insure you would be on time for work.

The system today, does not resemble anything of what it was like.

I often thought I wouldn't make it home many times coming home from Bklyn on the "GG" heading back to Queens, late at night.
The atmosphere, actions and attitudes of some people back then was
just crazy.
You really were taking your life into your own hands!
