- This is particularly clear when you are in the terminal waiting
- for a bus and gaze blankly up at the ceiling. You can see where
- they cut out some columns and put in others. As I recall, the
- columns were moved from between the train tracks to the middle
- of the platforms so the buses can pass each other.
