So what's your take?
Well, I thought since this is Subway Takes, I should talk about the subway. Okay. People are real down on the subway lately. They're saying it's getting more dangerous or something, but I still like taking it. I don't mind.
You like the subway?
Yeah, I like the subway.
So your subway takes is that people should take the subway?
Yeah, yeah. The subway is getting a bad rap nowadays. I guess people, I hear people say, you know, it's changed or they don't feel as safe on it. You know, there's a lot of negative press about, oh, this, that, or the other happened on the platform or people... assaulting people or whatever.
But you take the subway often.
Yeah, I think public transportation is the way to go. I can't believe how many cars there are in this city.
It's really ridiculous. There's a lot of cars. What does it take for you to take a car?
