    Conversation with a MTA Train Operator Q: Why quite often, and please don’t deny it happens, do I arrive in a station say on a local train, and the conductor clearly sees the local arriving, and instead of waiting 30 more seconds so passengers can make connections (and it can go either way local to express or express to local) slams the doors shut. And please, none of this keeping to the schedule. A satisfying nytimes city room article.
