Dodgers win Game #1 of the World Series...Now back to your regular post of the day. :-)
While we were in NYC, we decided to get rid of our rental car and move onto the NYC Metro Subway System.
Once we were at JFK Airport, it allowed us to access the "A" train.
We were at a hotel that was right next to the Beach 44th Street Station in Far Rockaway, so we knew we would have a ride home...or so I thought.
I picked up a subway map, while I was in the station and since I saw that the train we were on going into the city was an express, I noted to myself to double check the train going back to Far Rockaway.
Our Metro Card is always a pain to swipe through the turnstiles (nice to know that some things never seem to change). We did finally get them to work and I heard from Yahoo, that they may move to TAP Cards.
On our way home, the train that pulled up was another express train.
Being that we got on from JFK, I checked that subway map I had and if I went by the little dots, my dot was black at Beach 44th and showed as a local stop and not an express stop. Uh, oh.
There was not much I could do at this point, but I did see what stations were missed by the train and checked if it was a white or black dot.
Once we moved out of Brooklyn, we began stopping at the black dots, including Aqueduct Racetrack.
I felt better, so we stayed on the train past JFK and had no further problems.
Better subway maps, better signage in stations and get rid of that Metro Card!
