There are nightmares and then there's public transportation. Public transportation is supposed to make people's easier, its a commodity. However, there are times when it does not. This is the tale of what happens when it doesn't.
Lane didn't like public transport at all and for that reason he never used it. He would walk or cycle around, avoiding the metro altogether. However, when he broke his leg he had no option but to waver and take the public transport. It was rush hour, so the metro was full to the rims. Lane had checked his crazy itinerary before leaving, but it looked easier on paper. He had to interchange four different times and take a bifurcating line. The first part of his journey was easy, he simply needed to stop after two stations and change lines, in high spirits he got on the other metro and found himself a seat. When it was time to get out it was impossible for him to reach the doors on time before they closed, so he had to wait until the next station and go back. The third metro line was a bit less crowded, and made Lane believe that his luck had changed. He could not be more wrong. The bifurcating line proved to be the worst. After making sure the metro was heading on the direction he had to go, he stepped in. And desperately saw how it skipped the stop he needed to get out in and all the following ones. Lane found himself at the end of the line, wondering what had he done wrong to deserve such a torture.
