NYC Subway would have done just fine without this ad
Despite controversy, I'm not worrying about the inner life of NYC subway riders. Xenophobia doesn't fly when more than a third of people have been born abroad, as a permanent fact of life, from 18th century onwards or so.
I ride the L, 1 and A trains 1-2 hours a day, and I've never been in such a cozy metro environment. New Yorkers spend a lot of time in the trains (1m+ every day), and they have a nice casual way about it. There not always much talk, but it never feels lonely. People-watching is a nice: average car of average train, there's incredible human variation, with every form and shape of homo sapiens wearing every style imaginable. Endless diversity of nice girls, too. And many of the artists are simply great. Its a rare I come home not having handed a dollar or two for performers really worth it.
(Another example, Subway Theatre:)
