Night ride, fright ride...

"The freaks come out at night"

The usual commuter travels between the hours of 7am to around 9:30 pm... But have you ever thought to yourself while laying down at nights-"I wonder what's going on the trains at this time?. No you say? hahaha,ok but  those that have dared to commute during the dark times are witnesses to the sinister characters that ride the trains after commuter hrs.

You have been cordially invited to the bum party; every other cart is usually inhabited by a bum, exuded guts or some other undesirable find.

I have conducted hard hitting research on the List of things my commutable readers have seen being a night rider-

• - Naked bums
• - Giant rats
• - Couples in need of a hotel room
• - Flashers
• - Some random person dressed as a vampire?
• - A regular commuter desperately requesting a smoke from a bum?
• - Deranged clown?
• - Someone so drunk they don't know what direction the train is heading
• - Nicky Manaj? that wasnt nicky bro...

The amount of effort and awareness required to travel during regular commuter hours are doubled on the night shift, where freaks lurk waiting to reveal their freakish nature, where thieves sit still, waiting for an opportunity to pick your apple...gadgets that is.  

Heading home one late night from the Barclay’s center my friend and I was appalled when a young man entered our cart and proceeded to sit across from us dressed in full drag ... Female attire, a fancy wig and the whole works... A pair of dark glasses (at night) and a --full grown mustache? Wow one of these items do not belong. We had to dig deep in order to find the self-control to conduct ourselves appropriately,until we had the opportunity to scamper off dying of laughter. 

In the daytime our expectations are so high without us realizing it, then at nights it lowers ... To accommodate whatever may slither out of the darkness into your train cart but just remember it’s only a night ride, fright ride.

Commutable safety tip: unzipped bags are always an invitation for thieves. Zip up and stay alert till next commutable!
