The No. 7 train doesn't stop at Uranus?

A friend posts on Facebook:

Fave line from this story: "The No. 7 train makes exactly as many stops in Brooklyn as it does on Uranus."

Who'd have expected a sense of humor from the New York Times?

It's true. The w/b Empire Builder does not stop either at Brooklyn or on Uranus.

In Chicago, Metra does stop at Mars.

Is there even life on Uranus?

It's a good thing that the 7 train doesn't go to Uranus...

The ice giant Uranus has an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium with methane clouds that can be seen above the city skyline in this image. The atmospheric methane would produce a beautiful aquamarine tint but the hurricane-strength winds would obliterate the poor city of New York.

A lot of germs, I am sure!
