Lone Bus Travelers

Category: Transportation

An empty city bus came barrelling up the West Side Highway. He slowed down when he saw us walking.

"Going to the ferry terminal?" he asked us. We said yes. "Get on," he said, and we did. We were the only two people on the bus, although he also stopped at 14th Street and 23rd and picked up more people.

The West Side Highway was closed to all other traffic except buses and emergency vehicles, so it was another otherworldly experience for me.
