    If a bum asks you for a dollar, ask them for a cigarette and they'll go away.

    Sometimes they announce the track before the train arrives, just to mess with weary travelers.

    Just keep in mind that this (commuting thing) sucks equally for everyone. Try to ignore the drunk sport-tards, guidos, and treat the homeless people and faux armed guards with courtesy.

    Get over the fact that commutes always suck and appreciate the food options here. Planet Smoothie and Taco Bell.. this place is not that bad.

    If you're already depressed, avoid the Starbucks that blasts heart-wrenching 'indie' emo ballads at 7am.

    Be prepared for the mob rush to the train. Tracks generally don't get posted until about 5 minutes prior to train departure.
