Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these directions up-to-date?
A: Yes! They are as current and up-to-date as it ever gets. You
can check the date of the last update at the bottom of the main directions page.
Q: Are the times shown AM or PM?
A: Neither. This is the 24-hour clock. If you do not know what it
is, Google it (and what planet are you from?).
Q: Where can I find directions from X to Y? What other directions do you provide?
A: All directions that
are currently offered can be found on the main directions page.
Q: Are you affiliated with any transit agency or transportation provider?
A: No, I am not. Moreover, I am
not paid by anyone or any company to maintain and update these pages for more than a decade. If you'd like to send a thank-you note, you
can do so here.
Q: Is it safe to use the public transportation options described in these directions?
A: Yes, perfectly
safe. I would not be recommending anything unsafe. Just exercise regular caution as you would in any public place.
Q: I will be travelling with a child, I am a senior citizen, my situation is somehow different from everyone else's. Is it
safe to use the public transportation options described in these directions?
A: See the previous answer. I am not sure
where the notion that public transportation is somehow inherently unsafe comes from. Statistics show exactly opposite. Public
transit in the United States is at its safest in the last 30-40 years (and it keeps improving), and it is consistently safer than any areas it
travels through. You are always safer when there are people around you and not when you are alone on a deserted street. The
problem you should worry about on public transit nowadays is crowding and ability to find a seat during rush hours, not safety. Millions
upon millions of people use public transit every day, and they would not be doing so, if it were unsafe. And don't even get me started on
how much safer public transportation is than that plane you are about to take the same day... And no, no one is likely to attack your
child or your grandma. You should stop thinking that you are somehow special: plenty of senior citizens and people with children
take public transit regularly nowadays. Your notions about transit and its safety are outdated, you should really update them.
