Marsha
Kenol, 18, a college student introduces
our new series Globe Trotter Guide, talking about subway:
Trains
aren’t the only things on earth that run deep. Though many do not take into
consideration the importance of such an invention, trains are ‘to-the-rescue’
when buses and automobiles fail to get from point A to B. Many may not question
this, but why is the ‘Subway’ so unique? Well, I am not an expert. But what I
can say is that the Underground subway signifies something deeper than what we
see, deeper than what we think. Consider the depth of yourselves the next time
you decide to take a train underground, because trains aren’t the only things
on earth that run deep.
In
fact, not only trains run underneath. People also do.
But, while people hurry at rush hour to get the first train
and go home, subway comes any time at our rescue when streets are empty and
taxi drivers unavailable. What makes subway life unique? We stumble upon
stores, play, and a lot of ordinary people trying to make a living. Especially
at winter, when coolness is there after having chased squirrels, beggars, and
almost everything that used to be booming at sunny times.
Subway system is unique and complicated. Hope we’ll master it with time. But, even there, the system is changing. Better jump in the next train.
