True Life: I don't have a car.
Friday, May 30, 2008 @ 1:09 PM
I hate when things that should be quick and easy turn out to be difficult and time-consuming.
I'm moving to Beacon on Sunday. Then, next Friday, I'm going with my mom to Illinois. So I have been charged with the relatively simple task of getting from Beacon to Binghamton before noon on Friday. A series of unfortunate and, frankly, inexplicable events prevents me from being able to do this in under five hours.
1.) Short Line Coach is on strike.
2.) There is no Amtrak station in Binghamton.
3.) There are no Greyhound bus stations in Beacon or Newburgh.
4.) There is a Greyhound bus station in Poughkeepsie. For some reason, the bus ride from Poughkeepsie to Binghamton (a three-hour drive, tops) takes nineteen hours. I am not making this up, I am not that creative.
5.) The only plausible route I have discovered - so far - is to take the Metro from Beacon to Grand Central Station (90 minutes), walk a mile to Port Authority, then take a Greyhound bus (3 hours) to Binghamton.
There has to be a better way.
Thank you for reading my rant. As a present for being so nice, here is a song you can download:
Listening: Suzanne Vega - Marlene on the Wall
