The last two days we've taken the subway home it's been super busy. There are 3 different trains that run through the city. The one that makes an almost-loop around the city center, running near a lot of the tourist attractions, is the monorail. And it gets crowded, especially at rush hour but really most of the time. The train that comes is usually only 2 cars long. Like I said, the last two days have been really busy. Everyone lines up pretty orderly to get onto the train, and once the other passengers get off, we file on. Except because the train has been so full and not many passengers get off, not so many of us can file onto the train. So we've had to wait for 3 or 4 trains to come and go before the two of us have been able to get on.
But once we do get on, the people are very kind: someone will offer their seat to my daughter to sit in; or ask to make sure that she's not getting squished if they're standing beside us. The neighborly kindness of strangers is very refreshing.
If I had any qualms it would just be with the train system for not running longer and/or more frequent cars, especially on the monorail.
