I mentioned I hate the subway. Well, I hate it even more on rainy days and forget trying to hail a cab from downtown to the UES. Fortunately, salvation comes in the form of the five dollar X90 uptown express bus. This helps cut 10 minutes off my commute time and drops me off right on the corner. With the subway, I have to walk 5 minutes-subway 25 minutes-walk another 15 minutes. I don’t mind when the weather is mild but the winters and humid summers can be unbearable!
