The subway station is such an awesome experience every time you ride it. I can’t get over how exciting it can be, even on the slowest days when there are only 5 people (including yourself) on the train. It amazes me what you can witness from one stop to another. Just sitting and observing people from afar is my absolute favorite. The subway is so diverse and you never see the same people twice, so you can experience something new each time. When I walk onto the train I love when I catch the ending of someone else’s conversation and it leaves just a bit of mystery as to what they were saying. The Subway is also a great spot to get entertained by random people. Just tonight someone got on the train and started break dancing. Last week a band got on and sang a song from The Lion King. The best part was, they sang really well.
What I like most is when I meet someone friendly. During the rush hour you can tell when someone is coming from work and whether or not they have had a good day. Tonight the train was extremely crowded and I was standing up holding onto the pole. An old man slid over just so I could sit down. When I said thank you he had the biggest smile on his face, which made me smile. Last month I was riding the train and the one seat available had something gross all over it. Of course, I didn’t want to sit so I planned on standing. Another man was sitting in the seat beside it reading the paper. When he saw why I didn’t sit, he took out part of his paper and put it on the seat for me. I just couldn’t thank him enough. It’s the little things I experience on the subway that make me so happy.
