As far as I’m concerned there are only a few things that excuse you from walking excessively slowly through the subway. If you’re elderly, disabled, carrying heavy luggage or with a child. Other people should just walk at a regular pace bare minimum. A subway station I use frequently is sometimes populated by a very [...]

I was on the Q train at 57th street and heard the conductor doing a sound test with the guy in the center who does the announcements. I wish this was verbatim but all I could make out was them talking about B.O. I could imagine the conductor and announcer rooms getting lots of B.O. [...]
