Well, I guess i should have expected this from the Buffalo News…

Seriously, I ride the metro a lot, and I love Buffalo to death but some of the stuff she says…

“Classical music adds an elegant calm. The trains and stations are spotless, and they’re beautiful. The Amherst Street Station, for instance, sports a mural of arts-and-crafts homes.”

…um, the Amherst station is one of the wierdest looking stations, it looks like they decided to put ugly, outdated drwaing of houses on a wall. The classical music, yeah just imagine how wierd you feel standing for a train at the Summer/Best station at 11pm with some rugged looking Buffalonians you don’t know in a not-so-pretty area, and then to top things off, you have classical music playing at a cheap looking metro stop. Its more eerie than beautiful.
I will say the meto does serve a purpose if you live off Main Street and you need to go further down Main (especially places on main that don’t allow cars, of course) but other than that, us Buffalonians have the right to make fun of it all we want.
