From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life.
I'm David Kestenbaum, sitting in fryer glass.
This morning on the subway, this guy brought his own chair.
He was sitting next to him, but he was in like a fold-out chair.
That's Aviva de Kornfeld, apparently our transportation correspondent.
She came in the studio to tell me a story about a woman on a bus ride that went very strangely.
Her name's Duck, or that's her nickname.
That's what we're going to call her.
Okay.
She takes this bus between New York and D.C.
A lot, back and forth.
So on this trip, she's going from New York to D.C., Union Station, and she's leaving around 6 p.m.
