It’s like a scale that measures “cityness”…

I used to think I had the longest commute but hearing everyone else’s stories I see that I am one of many!

I live in Bellerose, Queens which is on the border of Long Island. It takes me an hour and a half to two hours to get anywhere in Manhattan. My commute to CCNY takes me two hours.

My journey begins on the Q43 bus, which I ride for half and hour to the 179th Street subway stop. At 179th Street I get the F train. I take the F train to 47th-50th Streets Rockefeller Center and then take the D train to 145th Street and St. Nicholas Ave. After I reach the 145th Street station I go up to the street level and walk towards Convent Avenue. I then make a left onto Convent Avenue and walk to 137th Street, which is the heart of the CCNY campus.   

On the trains and bus I see many different people and pass through various sceneries. My neighborhood is suburban and quiet and by the time I reach school I am in the bustling city. The places I pass thru seem to measure on a scale ranging from least city to city. Even when I am in the subway the passengers represent the environment that they come from or are going to.
