There are two shortcuts on the board: the subway and the troll path. They both only work one way: if you land on the beginning of the subway, move forward. If you land on the end of the subway, do nothing. The troll path works in the opposite way: if you land on the beginning, do nothing. If you land on the end, you’ll be sliding backwards.
