Mystery: Why Is This NYC Subway Experiment Video Making Me Cry?

If you live in New York (or if you’ve visited enough that you totally know your way around), you’ve likely noticed that at every subway stop, conductors point at a black and white striped strip. This is something they’re required to do in order to ensure that the train stopped in the right place, and I’m sure it gets pretty boring. Well. Welllllll one upbeat pair of dreamers has opted to change that with a project that, inexplicably, is making me tear up. Why?

Another lady tears mystery, I guess. Anyone else reacting strongly to this or do I need to adjust my birth control dosage?
