Stock People and the Fastest Way from A to B

Noticed this picture in an online ad for a dating service. Too bad for those interested because I could have sworn I saw “Heather” shilling for GoDaddy on the company’s Web site a few months ago.

Another Reason Why I Hate the MTA
I’ve always loved the Travel Information Center, which will give you the fastest route or the route with the least number of connections when using public transportation in the Chicago area. The center’s database includes information not only for the CTA but for Metra and Pace, which are operated separately.

However, there is no such online system for public transportation in New York City. If I want to get from point A to point B, I have to refer to the paper subway map and a separate paper bus map. The online maps are useless, at least at home, because the PDF files are so large and noticeably slow down my computer. And then I have no way of knowing which route would be fastest. A route might look fast, but if I’ve never been to a section of the city, I won’t know what the traffic situation is like there.
