"The Track Star"
You've undoubtedly seen this mass transit rider, albeit for a brief second, as they are essentially the working man's Usain Bolt. No matter what time it is, this person is always in an all out sprint to the station and the platform. While we all may hustle from time to time because we're running late, this person runs even in they're early.

You her a loud noise behind you and think you may be about to get hit by a car, wrong you are. Nope, it's the Track Star. They run the 40 in approximately 25 seconds, but put a train at the finish line and they look like Mike Vick. This person clearly is unaware the trains and buses run on a somewhat regular schedule, because regardless of what time you see them, they're cruising. As they high-step down the sidewalk of Locust Street, you begin to wonder if there is something exciting going on, but nope, just someone chasing a train.
About half the time you'll take a leisurely stroll to your stop only to find the Track Star hunched over on the platform smelling of exhaustion and disappointment as they missed the train.
You're tempted to suggest they leave their house five minutes earlier to save themselves the run, but we all know they will be running no matter what.
So, this ones to you Track Stars. Make sure to stay well-hydrated and stretch properly before you start running, otherwise you may never make it home.
