Re: Six bucks=fancy flavored coffee at the Dallas Airport....



It was a dollar a ride while I was at Columbia, but very high entertainment
value.  Whenever I took the subway at the same time of day I would run into
the same characters.  It was like a variety show: steel drum player (and,
while it was rather loud on the train, he always had a bunch of kids around
him on station platforms and willing to let them try their hand) and
amongst the others, a fortune cookie man, who carried huge bags of fortune
cookies on the #1 train, which he was willing to sell.  After graduation,
on my last ride on the #1, I was with a classmate on a very crowded train,
and they were all there with the exception of one.  I remarked about it,
and Joan immediately indicated with a nod that I should look around and,
sure enough, the cookie man was standing under my strap hanging arm.  It
was a final curtain!

Also, four rides on the NYC subway/bus system.

So $6 isn't always a waste of money - it can be an entertainment budget
here.
