Especially with fewer trains and fewer people around than a typical NYC setting (on the Saturday I was there MARTA's gold line was running only every 15 minutes, with the red line being a branch shuttle), you can get information from scanning the cars from the platform. I was looking for the car with the most typical commuters, regardless of race. A typical commuter is sitting upright, usually only needing one seat, often (but not necessarily) on their electronic device or with earphones on, and showing no indications that they prefer to stay on the train (railfans of course being an outlier here!).I also notice that outside NYC (but within the US) strangers are more likely to talk to each other. I don't want to talk during my ride to anyone. So the more devices, earphones, and people staring at the floor, the better. |
