When the students got to the Danger Shop today, they'd find themselves in the middle of a huge, busy train station. Honestly, Kitty wouldn't have Danger Shopped this if she didn't think they'd possibly run into time constraint issues.
"Welcome to Penn Station, in New York City," Kitty greeted them, passing out subway maps. "Today we're going to be covering the subway. In big cities public transportation is a must, unless you're in LA and then I guess you're okay sitting in traffic for hours instead." Kitty did not spend like any time there, no. "Big cities have a lot of people, a lot of cars, and using something like subways or trains or buses is a good economical way to get around all that, even if it might take a little longer sometimes. We're not going to focus on buses today, but know that if you take them, it means a lot of waiting outside for them to show up, and you're going to need a card or money for your trip, depending on what city you're in. Now what I gave you is a subway map. The routes are color-coded, and named by numbers and letters, which makes them easier to read, and they stop at several places to get people get on and off. At certain places you can even transfer onto other lines, either at the station or by getting off and walking a block or whatever to the next station.
"So, locate Penn Station on the map. It's south of Manhattan there," she said. "Now I want you to find Battery Park, and figure out the best way to get there. And then based on what you guys come up with, we're going to take that way in, and then once we get there, we can hang out for a bit."
