A Round of Applause for NYC Commuters
February 7, 2013 § 4 Comments
In this city of nearly 9 million people, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single person who enjoys commuting. Yet it’s something we do every day, cramming into packed subway cars and scurrying through a vast network of underground tunnels.
That’s why I’m loving this video of NYC commuters being greeted by a cheering crowd at the Times Square subway station. For years, on my way to and from work, I trudged up and down that same steep ramp connecting the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, R and Q to the A, C, E. This occurred at the end of the day, but boy, would I have loved this during one of my morning commutes!
I haven’t seen any mentions of the group behind this, so if you know, please tell me—I’d like to thank them for brightening a lot of peoples’ days!

I wonder if this group is linked to the Samaritans of Boston. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/roberta-hurtig/happier-boston-campaign_b_2497804.html
I hadn’t heard of that group before, but thank you for sharing–I always love hearing about people who are working to make everyones’ lives a little brighter!

Glad you enjoyed it, Shoko! Now if only we could find them in real life, one morning!
