Ford Econoline 150 Dashboard Light

Commuter choice!

Some are comfortable, clean and fast. Others fail to exceed certain speeds and their coaches, made in times past, have traveled extensively and now you drag with a maddening slowness that may seem. Someone still needs to be steam, many other diesel-powered to silence others are driven by electricity, each seems to have a character and nature of its own, but on each of them seems to feel a familiarity and an ease that elsewhere there are stubbornly refused.

Every morning I get on a train: one of only a quarter of 08:16 hours and are at your destination ... quarter of an hour where the landscape is so familiar that I see the windows every day seems different! You can hear snatches of conversations, fragments of words that are, or appear to us, delivered by our fellow travelers. Those words are superimposed on one another by dialing within us, an almost surreal. In front of me I find the faces of my fellow travelers and occasional observe them trying to steal their stories, they are born by the impact of chance encounters shoulder to shoulder or the offer of help to lift a bag weighs too much (who knows that will never ...) sometimes do not even know how it began the speech is there to speak and nothing else.
Every evening arrival at the train station and look at the departures board to see what I can take the train (as if they knew the train schedules?). But the timetables are the world as possible. Each scrolling can daydream about what could be done. The endless columns of numbers, in bold or italic, portend endless departures and arrivals in cities and towns. Salgo sl train, usually one of only a quarter of 18:32 hours and are at your destination ... quarter of an hour where the landscape is so familiar that I see the windows every day seems different, different even from the very morning!

Well must also be said that the trains are chronically late, not always comfortable, and that "Trenitalia apologizes for the inconvenience" now is a little abused, but nevertheless I am proud to be part of that part of commuters who choose to study or train for work as an alternative to the car! It 's a good way to reduce pollution by choosing an alternative means of sustainable, then there is no comparison for the human touch!
