...you’ll notice that if you fold correctly, what disappears into the crease is all the area in between. A’s and B’s on a map are points unconnected by real land but joined by imaginary dotted routes.

But to those living in a land where a creaky set of buses can pass for a Silver subway line (we wouldn’t like to see what they call the Bronze Line), the introduction of Tyler’s non-duckly fleet could be disastrously confusing. The sleepy Crimson commuter could easily step onto one of the new arrivals and find himself or herself destined for the depths of the river...
