[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

[–] neidu3 11 points 3 days ago

Brown noise or bluegass.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Closed or non-existent

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

What... No one masturbating in the corner. This must be a rush hour train.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

the difference is wings.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

That's a great username u got there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

This is DC, but needs more clueless tourists.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

as someone who has never been to NY, im surprised there are 5 free seats but people are standing.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If you stand you don't have to sit next to anybody

[–] Cheradenine 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Or in anything

Should I sit in the vomit or urine? Mebbe I'll just stand until 86th street

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] neidu3 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

If I was there in NY I'd probably be #13

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

cta would be:

  1. Smoking Weed
  2. Smoking Cigarettes
  3. Opiate Nodding Etc

Replace rat with Pigeon

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)


With outlines and larger circles I find it easier to read.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are there really rats IN tje subway cars too? Could a Nu Yokah plz confirm?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Never seen that personally.

By the color, I expected that dot to represent human waste.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

That's usually right in the middle of the car.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

If you can poop there you can poop anywhere ig.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Is that rush hour?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I’d definitely be number 11

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

That rushhour?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Throw the finance guys out and I'm sitting next to the mariachi band. Hell if it works like my local bus I'll miss my stop and take the loop back around.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Those dancers guys who gets aggressive is someone I've often dreamt about getting their asses kicked

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There is also the guy masturbating as well.

[–] Imgonnatrythis 2 points 3 days ago

That's Tokyo mate
