I hate the NYC subway because during rush hour people swamp you like a sardine in a can. They have they're dirty smelly pits in your face as they hold on tightly to the metal bars above their heads. It is really a disgusting experience. However, for you tourists that really want to experience a NYC ride I would suggest taking the 6 train from 23rd street and head uptown towards Times Square and you will know exactly what I am talking about.
Another reason I hate the subway? The people! That is right I said it. The
crazy people on the subway can sometimes give you visual nightmares for days to come. I do not know how some of these bums cross the metal bars and get to stay on a train all day but they ROYALLY stink! There was an instance where I almost wanted to go between carts and jump off but then I would have taken my own life.
I just really can not stand the nyc subway system. Every single time I get off the subway I honestly and truthfully feel SOOOOO dirty and the need for a shower and a bar of soap sinks into the front of my mind.
