23 Bizarre Photos of People On The Subway
If you’ve ever been in a magical, chaotic, ever unpredictable city like New York then you’ve probably experienced taking the subway. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. While the subway itself is still a cheap enough and convenient way to get from one end of the city to the other, you can easily forget that you’re also entering into an enclosed and fast-moving space with all kinds of wild human beings. Sometimes, the outbursts are strictly comical. You can even witness free live music shows, if that’s your thing. However, other times you can find yourself deeply troubled by what you’re seeing. We did our best to round up some of the more strange, funny, and unexplainable sights that people have ended up witnessing while they’ve been on the subway.
