You study the map.
Apparently the basement is two blocks long. Fine. Apparently the second floor is also two blocks long. Fine, fine. What is confusing is that, according to this map, the first floor is not two blocks long. According to this map, there are large sections of Port Authority where there is no first floor, and where the second floor hovers in midair. Is that possible?
Or perhaps you have misunderstood. Perhaps Port Authority has two first floors, and 41st Street runs directly through the terminal, like a ribbon through a ring. Is that possible?
Frankly, you don't trust this map. It indicates that the Port Authority has nine Hudson News stands, which must be impossible. It also indicates that Port Authority has a blood center, a post office, a Radio Shack and an outpost of the USO. Time is lost while you come to terms with this. The map is color-coded, and you know which color the ticket office for the Newark Airport Shuttle should be, but there is no such ticket office on the map. You double-check, search more thoroughly. No, no, there can be no doubt: There are nine Hudson News stands, but no location in the entire Port Authority where tickets for the Newark Airport Shuttle are sold.
But you have taken too much time. As you are studying the map, a police officer lays his hand on your shoulder and places you under arrest.
THE END.
