I took it every day. 7:00 am sharp, I would hurry out of my modest apartment where I live alone, and head towards the subway station. Where I head to my monotonous job, with my monotonous co-workers. I worked as an average employee, which made me life boring I guess, but I liked it this way. It was comforting. But, I knew how my life would be, I would meet an average woman, who I would wed. We would have 2 kids (probably 1 female, and 1 male.) Our lives wold be boring, but filled with joy.

I was almost falling asleep on the subway, although that wasn’t an unusual daily occurrence for me. I just don’t know how they can expect me to keep up with all this coursework, but I want to go to college– specifically Yale. I can do this. I got off at my usual stop, Queens.

Allen had never seen the subway before now. he stood on edge waiting, for what? he took glances around him when suddenly he felt a swift push on his back. he fell, his head hitting the third rail, he died instantly.

The subway was crowded. So crowded that almost nobody noticed the little blonde boy crying for his mother. A tall man spotted the boy from a few feet away and cautiously approached him.
“Are you alright?” he asked, concerned. The little boy stared at him, then blubbered out, “I-I’m lost.”
chantelle
I often sit alone on the subway. This would be a bad thing if it weren’t for the fact that there are always insane people down there with you, speeding along in the dark at sixty miles an hour. Sometimes it’s hard not to jump out in front of it.

I was waiting to catch the A late this past Thursday when I saw a dog on a platform across the way. I panicked–worried it would fall onto the tracks. Then I put on my glasses and saw it was a rat.
Megan
dark and dank smells wafted up to assault my nose. i entered anyway and descended into the black hole of public transportation. the denizens of the dark were eying me slyly from the shadows, the smells were overpowering this deep in. i proceeded to the turnstiles and presented my pass to the agent. he let me pass onto the train to home.
Patrick
Subway is good.
the food at least.
its healthy.
The food makes me feel good.
You can get a sub for only $5.
I think I want one now.

I feel victimized sometimes when I ride the subway. Other times I do Sudoku. Or read. I love going over the bridge when the sun is setting on the Q.
Rosalind
dark noisy smelly like urine. filled with people who don’t see each other, plugging and tweeting and ipoding and phoning and staring into space, oblivious of fellow humans. on time on amazing grids that could save tons of coal and fossil fuels

The lights flickered as the subway cars sped through the tunnel. Five more minutes and he’d be home and could leave the events of this day behind him.
Teri
once i took the subway in toronto and there were pidgeons on the outside. i like the smell of the subway and it always make me think of when i used to visit brandon.
The subway is sooo much easier than where i live.
it’s so fast and awesome.
The people on the subway are mostly interesting too.

I love five dollar foot longs. Salami is disgusting. Wheat bread is so good for you. I love their pizza’s, green peppers only, please. Who the fuck gets ‘The Works’ anyway? I wonder how much they throw away. Why can’t they spread the mayo out, instead of putting it in the fold of the bread, so half my sandwich has mayo and half doesn’t?

the subway in nyc. dirty smelly. smells like piss. grey. squish on, squish off. too close. magical. light at the end of the tunnel. arriving. here.

I once was in Russia and rode the subway many times. I was very impressed by the varying architecture of the stations. It was interesting to me that the Soviets spent so much effort on their subway stations, but not as much on pretty much every other public building.
Ben
it’s been a year, almost, since I had a 12 inch steak and cheese. It’s not quiznos, but it is good. They raised the prices, you see, and it’s just not something a bank teller can buy, at least not with non-ill-gotten gains. 6 inch will have to do, but it does leave an emptiness. A whole. Which may or may not equal any ill gotten gains would carve…

It was a Wednesday when she took the subway to school. She was in a foreign land although she did just recently complete three semesters studying the local dialect. She was alone. Nobody to talk to but the others.

subway. metro los angeles. what los angeles is somewhat lacking. tokyo station. new york subway system. subway! five dollar subs. oven roasted chicken breast on wheat bread.
Philip Hirose
There’s always someone here. Always someone new to see. The wafts always encase my nose and instead of crinkling it and running away- I embrace it as part of me. Strange, but true.

It plunges through the dark like a demon, directly from its cold void, eyes burning with a stoic dastardly devotion.

Subway… sandwich or transportation. Heck, why not eat a subway sandwich on the subway. Riding the subway is almost an education al experience. I like to look around and people watch, and put thought’s in other peoples heads.
Sarah
The subway roared to life with passengers exiting and entering the train cars.
John
I went on the subway one day with my friend jimmy and it was the first time he had ever been on it. we saw a creepy poster but thought it was hilarious so we took a picture with it and now everytime I look at the picture I think of him and smile because I know it made his day to experience that with me. I miss him.
Liz
Sub way is giving me a hungry feeling. Subs low fat and all the rest of it. I see crusty bread in front of my eyes with delicious lamb and mince sauce. What’s wrong with me? Why don’t I think of subway trains? Is it the commercials?
PeterNZ
i see you on the subway. the scar and tan line on your ankle stands out compared to your tan skin. you’re a surfer. you carry a backpack that has something in it. a handle sticks out. tennis? squash?
selin
I’ve never ridden a subway – never been told to hold by purse a little more tightly, to hold my breath through the dark tunnels. It’s just what I’ve heard.
Kristi
Drunk on the subway. Drunk on the subway and reeking of pot. Drunk on the subway reeking of pot with love in out eyes. Drunk on the subway reeking of pot with love in our eyes and blood on our hands.
I think I’d rather walk

i miss taking the subway in toronto. it is such an efficient mechanism of transportation. and you feel so cool riding it. the people you meet, the sights you see. sometimes late at night when i am riding by myself and i get scared, i put on my hood, put up my feet and just sink into my ipod, i just dont give a shit.
gillian may
there are sticky and horrid i would never would like to live in one.. but i have dream to get on one and go somewhere awesome…, and i cant type quickly… but yeah never beeen on one.. maybe ill go to ny and hop on one to nowhere and see where it’ll get me.. though i do like to plan and i hat e crowd.. so maybe when noone is one… i guess if its going nowhere there wont be too many ppl on…. but thats just me..

I rode on the subway. One time in Japan and it was amazing. i saw this one guy- he was obviously Japanese. He had a beard almost wisdom-like. He was homeless, i think, and he kept repeating the words, “Keep running, keep running” aloud. What’s that mean? IS someone chasing him or something?
Christine
I’ve never taken the subway, especially after watching The Taking of Pelham 123, I’m officially scared to take the subway. I doubt I will ever have to though, considering I am from a small northern town, which may in turn be the initial reason I was ever scared of subways; perhaps the movie only furthered that realization of mine.
Jessica Wood
I never knew that so much filth could be so lovely. I’d never ridden a subway before and the bums amazed me. They congregated like the cast off clergy of some forgotten faith, eager to spread their blessings among each other and disdainful of the majority that cast them out as heretics. I tried to speak to one, but when his tongues struck my ego, I knew I spoke to God.
Matt Vanderlaan
i love subway. i got two gift cards this year, one of them most recently in my gift basket. It was awesome. I shared a five dollar footlong with my friend donna and now we are fighting and im mad about it. I want my 2.50 back biatch.
erica
I was in the subway yesterday, when I met a boy. he was sitting there crying. not the loud type of crying, just silent tears running down his checks.
Carter
oh man where would i be without the subway, actually all forms of mass transit. it has been both a gift and horrid curse upon my life to have had the subway etc- be such a huge part of my day to day. it gives me legs. it gives me wings…
