Thank you Ann for drawing this program to our attention. It gave a really good picture of this legendary train.
There are 2 versions - local and express. When I boarded it I got on the express instead of the local and travelled 10 stops further than I needed! But yes it's as exotic a journey as any journey anywhere. A couple of girls asked me a question in French. I didn't know what the question was so I said, "Non". I've often wondered if I'd made the greatest mistake of my life there...
just listened to it, absolutely fascinating, thank you Ann for pointing it out...loved the bit when that lady said, "Whatever nationality you are on the A train, you will be in the minority!"

I did exactly the same as Lance. I wanted to go to 110th and it took me to 124th. Nobody asked me any questions but I got a lot of questioning looks walking the fourteen blocks to 110th.
