Welcome to the the Brunswick Line

I spent the week riding MARC, which I thought would feel like old times.  Yet, for my new MARC commute I ride the Brunswick line rather than the Penn line, which may not seem like a big difference, but trust me it is.  First, you have to stand in line to get on the Brunswick train, and if you don't get in line, people will get mad at you (I'm speaking from experience).  Second, the train cars on the Brunswick line are much older with ripped seats and hard to operate doors.  Third, the people are much louder (unless of course if you're in the quiet car then people get mad if you make too much noise (again, I'm speaking from experience)).  And it's not happy-hour loud, it's loud like someone yelling, "what was 5-down on today's crossword puzzle" loud.  This is really annoying too when you're trying to do the exact puzzle they're yelling about.  Still, my commute is now only 45 minutes so these few distractions seem a small price to pay for having more of my life back.  And frankly, I'm willing to pay it.
