Remember the obnoxiously awful subway party train video we shared with you yesterday? We finally have a first person account of just how horrible they really were to the people on the train. But guess what? The guy on the train is kind of a jerk too!
When the subway pulls into your station, you never know what you're going to find. You might end up sitting next to a passed out junkie in a wheelchair, you might get stuck on the dreaded "stinky car," or, worst of all, there might be a bunch of tacky assholes who took over the train with their party.
"Chronicles of the A train. Chronicles of the A train," says the world-weary straphanger after witnessing this severely one-sided "fight" that is today's entry into the hefty catalog of recent subway insanity. I bet what would help to not have a clearly insane and/ or intoxicated man get his ass beat by the most…
Out of all the crazy shit that happens in New York's subways, this might be the most quietly disconcerting: A filthy refrigerator sat on the West 4th Street subway platform for four days.
It's not just passengers that are acting up on the subway. Employees of the MTA are misbehaving as well! Here's footage that a YouTube user (and Bloombergian anti-smoking activist, we're guessing) recorded of a couple of MTA workers smoking inside the Christopher Street 1 Train station on Sunday morning. Are you…
This video was uploaded to YouTube earlier today. And if I had to venture a guess, it looks like one young woman decided to beat the record-setting New York City heat by riding a Manhattan-bound D train completely naked from the waist down. No, it's not the most polite thing to do on the subway. But on a sweltering…
It takes a lot to have a noteworthy New York City subway fight video these days—you're competing with the spaghetti fight and the berserk naked wig-out and everything else.
Here's a strange video of a man beating up a fellow passenger shot through the window of a subway car. According to the description of the video, the fight (if you can call one dude getting beat about the head and neck repeatedly a "fight") erupted over a dispute over a subway seat.
Strange things happen on the L train, like this spontaneous, flashmob-esque dance party, complete with a male stripper wearing nothing but a bathing suit and a pair of heels. Good thing he has the body (and skillz) to pull it off.
Some people have a tendency to idealize the wild, anything-goes New York City of the 1970s. Here's some vintage footage from some sort of news program or documentary about public transportation during the era. The hilariously stereotypical voiceovers talk about dangerous subways, dirty buses, and horrific cabs.…
From the Products We Don't Need file comes Metro Mitt, a little plastic bag for you to put over your hands while holding the pole in the subway. It's supposed to make your commute more sanitary. God, this thing is stupid.
Here's footage taken by an intrepid German tourist (and railroad enthusiast) of the 42nd Street Times Square subway stop back in 1986.
Not to be outdone by Madonna and Kim Kardashian, Jake Gyllenhaal took the Q train and made all the other riders swoon. Except the man passed out next to him. Glad to see the subway doesn't give celebs special treatment.
William Hattar was riding the subway this morning and the doors made a different and really cool song when closing. Have a listen. Hey MTA, can we adopt "Doors Closing: Extended Dance Remix" as the official song of subway doors?

We thought it was bad when we learned that cell phones will work in the subway, but now another of our commuting nightmares has been realized. There are currently functioning televisions on the subway. Great, one more thing to ignore.
Yesterday, Madonna actually deigned to take the subway, New York's most proletariat conveyance. When she's in town, you might expect to see her going to Pilates or an adoption agency or something. But the subway? How could we miss this?
