Turnstile Hop

I followed the cool draft right down the concrete steps into the station mezzanine! Ahead stood a long row of heavy stainless steel turnstiles, clicking away as commuters swept past. With my MetroCard firmly wedged under my arm, I trotted right up to the base of the gate. The card slot was way too high, but there was plenty of clearance right underneath! I ducked down, slid my card flat against the smooth ceramic floor tiles, and scooted underneath the bottom bar without a hitch. Straight onto the platform side—clean navigation!
