You’re headed to the subway platform and you hear a train coming. The warm musty air that blows directly into your nostrils is near. So you speed up your steps. Oh forget it, who are you trying to impress? You run to make sure you get to the platform. Yes, you made it! You hop on with your heart rate up a few beats. Nice.
But the doors stay open.
The train isn’t moving.
What gives? ARGH.
Of course, there’s a perfectly logical explanation. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority provides a scenario in 8-bit format.
As we’ve seen, it doesn’t take much to throw off the schedule of a transportation system. Sometimes the weird delay you experience is just the system trying to make things better overall. [Thanks, @reconbot]
