Dear New Subway Train.


Dear New Subway Train Rocket,

My God, you're gorgeous! With your antimicrobial surface treatment and your electronic maps and your 10% more capacity and your $1,000,000,000.00 price tag.

I just have one question:

WHEN WILL YOU LET ME RIDE YOU?

The other day you slowed down and stopped as I waited anxiously on the southbound platform at Eglinton, only to chug along down the track as a TTC employee informed me you were being used for driver training only that day. My hopes of losing my Rocket virginty were cruelly dashed, and not for the first time either.

Is it because I'm married? Is that what's scaring you off? Because, just to be clear, my husband is in full support of this.

Let's make it happen, Rocket. You have only to open your doors to me.

Love,
Alison
