6. the L train

Williamsburgers and East Villagers were told: Good news kids, more L trains!

Williamsburgers and East Villagers said: Yay!

Williamsburgers and East Villagers were not told: We haven’t got the faintest idea of how to control the flow of trains, so all the trains during morning rush hour now go about 2-3 miles an hour, stop frequently, and make a ten-minute commute extend to a dreary, slow-moving, claustrophobic, painful twenty-one!
