The New York City commute, Animated

You think commuting in Spokane is tough? OK, nobody really thinks that. Still, we are nothing compared to New York City.

Thankfully, the New York Times put together a handy “Animated History of New York’s Love-Hate Relationship with Commuting,” to show us how good we have it.

Personally, I like the horses being swept away and the glowing quote about how clean subways were predicted to be: “The filthy,health destroying, patience killing, street dust … will never be found in the tunnel.” No, of course not. Never.
