Since I metro almost everyday, there are a few familiar voices that I hear at times, as certain drivers have very distinct voices.
Today I had a doctor’s appointment (and stayed home since I wasn’t feeling well), and got onto the metro, realizing I had been on this operator’s train before. He had a very theatrical voice, soothing, distinct, and eloquent. It still made me giggle a bit because it was almost like he was trying too hard.
I stopped off at Farragut North and proceeded to see my doctor. In my less-than-an-hour visit, I headed back to head home. Strangely enough, when I got on the metro, it was the SAME operator. Same voice, same theatre, same eloquence.
Now, to hear the same operator from morning to morning is no shock to me, as I’m always on a schedule. But, to hear the same metro operator in one round-trip? Freaky…
Just how many of this men are there?? And just how long does it take to get from downtown to Shady Grove?
I’m thankful to be on the east side of the red line.
