Ah, the hilarious urban chase. Whether you laugh at or root for the person running after public transportation, it’s only because you — hell , we all — have been that poor soul. If you haven’t blocked out the experience, you’ll recall the cocktail of curse words and hope running through your head as you tried to keep some semblance of pride in your furious, but tiny locked-knee steps. (Tiny, because a) running in normal clothes looks ridiculous, and b), chasing something while carrying a bag or a cup of coffee is hard.)

For anyone who’s ever had to hustle, this montage of people running to catch public transit is for you.
