For the New York subway, you need to purchase special coins which you throw into a slot, which opens the turnstyle and lets you access the subway system. Since 9/11, I find those man-high turnstyles quite frightening, because you cannot flee in case of emergency. In Washington, DC you can at least jump over the four foot high turnstyle (well, having lived through that horrible day in DC, I am a bit paranoid probably, I always look for emergency exits since then). ;-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-41405093216045425912007-09-18T07:54:00.000+11:002007-09-18T07:54:00.000+11:00Hi, David!
