Created from popular demand, this blog is all about the misadventures of a commuting everywoman, me. Here you will be able to immerse yourself in the gritty and unpleasant underworld of one of the largest commuter train systems in the country, the Long Island Rail Road. As a self-appointed "commutologist" with almost 10 years of informal field experience in the train sciences, I will faithfully identify and chronicle my interactions with the creatures that inhabit this world.

Daytrippers (commuterus irregularis)
Daytrippers on the LIRR, God love 'em. Crowd evenly placed on the platform and pushing through the doorway....two high-box city broads heading home from their splurge shopping trip to Manhattan are screaming that 'these people are just CRAZY' as they were carried along the wave of unwashed humanity into the train car. We really need to print instructions for daytrippers on rush hour etiquette. Or at least provide counseling after departure for those that have PTSD from the boarding process.
