Classy Transportation

(Photo found here)

I only started going to school by train about three years ago. Before, my mom always drove me to school, but then she got a job and I had no choice, that "luxury" went away and I was excited about it. Going on my own, picking up the free newspaper and read it 'til I get to my stop, I love it.

Anyway, this week, in three years of using public transportation, music was playing on the train. Classic and cheeky music. I think this is a great way to start your day! Every public transport should have music playing. It's a pity that people talk so loudly, though, I can't enjoy it as much as I want to.

A friend of mine told me that one or two years ago they played Christmas songs around this festive time, so I'm crossing my fingers and hope to hear those melodies I love so much. I always expect so much from Christmas and I always end up getting disappointed. I always want a white Christmas with logs burning away in the fireplace, sipping a cup of tea and wrapped up in a blanket while watching romantic comedies. And I always want to spend it with my friends, but that only happens on New Year's, which isn't bad but... New Year's is more of a party holiday, Christmas is a time for love and a time to be with your loved ones. Oh, well. 76 days to go.

  1. já há algum tempo que existe música nos transportes... nomeadamente de manhã. Mas só muito de vez em quando...
    Eu costumo andar mais de autocarro e já ouvi lá meia duzia de vezes, não mais que isso :(

    beijinhos <3

  2. Great post Ana :) The RTA (Regional Transit Authority) buses in Cleveland never really have had music on them but there's always some local musicians that will get on the bus and play for whoever will listen-much like the subways in NYC!

    You might enjoy this album, it's filled with music from all sorts of subway performers in New York City :)

  3. "A friend of mine" :)

    You're SO my soul mate. I've always wanted a "white christmas" and I've never had it.

    Someday, we'll live in NYC and we'll be singing "Fairytale of New York" with a cup of tea in our hands and watching "Friends" under a cosy blanket.

    I love you, Hannah <3
