It happens in smaller cities too. A few months ago, a man died in a bus where I live. Nobody noticed or cared except for some guy who called the emergency line. But get this, he did it after getting off the bus (because he didn’t want to be late or something), so the ambulance had to find and follow the moving bus around town.
It feels like we’re all growing colder and more disconnected.
I can see how this comes across as a backhanded compliment against New York, but having this city where you are simultaneously surrounded by people, and people respect your personal space is kind of nice.
You’re not expected to put on some presentable front just to exist outside, you get people in pajamas walking their dog through a midtown block full of people in suits. Its nice that kind of everyone is just accepted and allowed to just live in peace no matter how shitty their day is going.
If this is true it just sucks. He could have just as easily alerted the bus driver when getting off the bus. On the other hand. he could have seen it, ignored it, and later when it was nagging called it in.
