It's a trap to confuse the tourists.

In preparation for the trip, I've been researching the New York Subway system. Why anyone would drive when you have this kind of service is beyond me, but that's another story.

One of the lines I've been looking at is the F line. This appears to run close to fimbrethil's place, and heads into Manhatten. Then I went out to the line page, and was amused to see that it is listed as the 6 Avenue Local.

I guess "local" in MTA speak means "it only hits 3 of the 5 boroughs."

You would drive...

... because you would rather have your private parts in a vise than travel on public transit.
