52. I heard a loop of birds chirping in various places in a big subway station. (Sorry for the shoddy video.) It didn’t add up then, but I read now it’s a guide for vision-impaired people, telling them about the beginnings of escalators leading towards the exits.pic.twitter.com/rzQiw74zQO

How about the taxi doors automatically opening and closing for you?
Heard about it! But have been walking or using subway exclusively so far. :·)
