The real column of our society

         So I was traveling back home by the so traditional and popular transportation system of New York known as MTA subway. Until I witness the true individuals who makes life easier for us.

Cheers for the MTA employees
         As I was standing at the platform I saw these two men walking together,one on the platform and theother along the rails. When later on they moved deeper in thetunnel, using flashlights to cooperate with fellow MTA employees. I then remembered a sign of MTA propaganda in the train. It said,

            "A city is only as good as its transportation."

         Well, many people would think that the metro is not the best transportation out there, but at least we have one. A decent one and it may not seemed well maintained as water sips through the roof cracks,molds form in the platforms etc etc, but in reality it is well(not perfectly or good) maintained. And hey, at least they have the decency to work this jobs. The rails and the system is always improving, giving the New York citizen the possibility to move one place to another. And these men are the less looked at and yet are the ones who carries the most important roles in the continuous run of the city. Of course, MTA employees is one amongst many hardworking jobs nobody wants to do that keeps our country running.
