If you ride the subway, you’ve probably seen it all. On a good day, you can witness the very best of humanity with acts of kindness or artistic beauty. On a bad day, you can witness the worst of humanity acting unkindly after a bad day or even, worse, becoming violent.
Riding the subway is like a crapshoot or a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. And you don’t really have a choice.
You take what you get when you ride the subway. That’s because you have to get where you’re going. Either way, riding the subway is always an adventure. Especially if you ride the subway in the city.
