Hot Stove Poll #1: The M5 Bus
The M5 is a magical bus, providing both local and limited-stop service between Washington Heights and Greenwich Village. This alone makes it pretty nice, but its the M5′s Upper West straightaway—along Riverside Drive, between 135th and 72nd—that really distinguishes it as a princely, top-shelf mode of transit.
The stretch along Riverside not only ensures your commute is scenic in every season, it also means that you are fucking fly-ing. There’s nobody on board (nobody awake), even fewer people waiting to flag the bus down, and 9 times out of 10, you get green lights for days. It makes the M104 look like dial-up. On a good day, the M5 outruns Amtrak. Fact.
Which brings us to today’s Gallup poll. (Clip-clop, clip-clop.)
Vote early and often!
Thanks for playing.
