6. A Subway Conductor Gives Us A Behind-the-Scenes Look
6. A Subway Conductor Gives Us A Behind-the-Scenes Look into his job. It's pretty fascinating. [BoweryBoogie]
Q: What do you do in between long stops? Can you take out a cell phone and play some angry birds or read a newspaper or is there something for you to do while the motorman is driving to the station?
A: Absolutely not. If you get caught doing any of those things, you are toast. This is one thing the union will NOT defend you for.
Q: How often do you come across people in the tunnels? Taggers, homeless, anyone?
A: All I ever see in the tunnels are rats and track workers. I’ve seen a couple of emergency exits converted into living rooms though, complete with real couches and beds.
