Guy on the 7 train told me to switch platforms and it saved me 20 minutes

This old dude with a Yankees hat pointed at me last Tuesday and said "Broadway Junction is a mess, get off at 74th." I was headed to JFK and my usual route woulda had me stuck for like 30 minutes. He was totally right, I made my flight with time to grab a bagel. Anyone else ever get random advice from a stranger that actually worked out?

Did you buy that guy a coffee or something? Sounds like a legit guardian angel on the 7 train right there.

Wishing I could've been there to buy him a coffee myself honestly... people like that are getting harder and harder to find these days. Sounds like the kind of person who just genuinely cares about others without expecting anything back. The world needs more of that, especially on the subway where everyone's usually just trying to get through their day. Really glad that guy was there for you when it counted.
