    TTC is a tranquil zen garden compared to the average NYC subway car

    You’re christened a real New Yorker when you see a guy urinating or defecating in a subway car, hopefully facing a set of doors “for privacy.”

      Pretty sure the only reason that sort of thing happens is because the restrooms in the stations are closed for no good reason. At least, that’s why it happens on my city’s transit system and I assume NYC is similar.

        I suppose my post came off demeaning, but whether you’re homeless and excluded from access to basic human necessities, or a white collar office worker who is having a very bad digestive moment, there are defensible reasons why this may happen. That said, where there’s a choice: I think pooping in the unpopulated far corner of the subway platform is preferable if at all possible. That’s just like, my opinion, man.

          I didn’t read it that way.

          I was just flipping the perspective to look at it as a systems and design issue, rather than a behavioral issue. When anybody poops in a subway, it’s the fault of the either the architect who failed to design the thing with enough restrooms or the management/politicians who failed to keep them operating correctly. It’s never the fault of the pooper unless adequate facilities are readily available and he chooses not to use them purpose.

    Public transit really brings together all kinds of people. It breaks down barriers and allows people from a variety of backgrounds to mingle.

    This is the kind of community unity every place needs. ♥️

      That also explains why classist assholes viscerally hate it as a concept even though nobody’s forcing them to use it themselves.

    In T.O. it’d be a pigeon, not a rat, though. (Some would argue, ‘what’s the difference’, but, hey.)

        And a lot of the time you’re only on the train for 5 mins or less.

      You’ll notice that the 4s are all hugging the exits – it’s the most lucrative spot. Yes, you have to squeeze in when the doors open to let people in and out, but you also get to gtfo first. You’re not subject to the Showtime kids doing flips, when the Mariachi band walks in you can run out to another car at the next stop, and you aren’t in the urination/defecation areas. Sitting is a trap.

    Here in Seattle, the positions of 7 &10 are swapped with those of 4, the local wildlife on the bus are all bees, and the couple having an uncomfortable argument is instead a homeless guy having an argument with the PSA posters over the doors.

    Tag yourself!

    I’m #6, but that’s only because the couple and the mariachi band are blocking the spots I would’ve put my bike in.

    Edit: actually to be fair, I’m only #6 in Atlanta. If I lived in NYC, I’d be able to justify owning a nice folding bike.

    How many stops does the sleeping drunk kid have? I would expect he’d just have one. What is he doing so drunk that he has several stops?
