Photos of Random People on the Subway That Will Make You Want to Move to a City
The subway in a major city is always an interesting place. People from all walks of life gather into the metal cars and wait to arrive at their destination. For the most part, taking the subway is super cheap compared to a taxi and takes you where you need to go without sitting in gridlocked traffic. We’ve gathered some of the funniest photos taken on the subway for you to enjoy.
The Chef
This woman pulled out a full-sized cutting board and just started chopping up an onion while on the subway. Guess she was running late to a dinner party.
Drunk Pizza
If you’ve ever been out drinking for a night, you know how essential pizza is when you come home. Unfortunately, this woman lost her pizza on the subway when she couldn’t stay awake.
Edgar Allen Poe
Nope, it isn’t Halloween. It’s just a Goth girl taking her Raven for a walk throughout the city.
Smart Car
How did this driver even get his car through the turnstiles? People may make fun of smart cars, but no other car could fit onto the subway.
Moss Man
Imagine sitting next to this mossy creature on the subway. A lot of city people enjoy nature every once in a while, but not next to them underground.

Sometimes the commute on the subway can be pretty long. This guy came prepared with his video games to pass the time.
Imaginary Friend
This guy was seen talking to his paper doll friend on the subway. It’s no wonder why nobody else is sitting around him.
Lettuce Head
Cities are always 10 degrees hotter in the summer than the surrounding area. This person had a good idea to keep cool, just put a lettuce leaf on her head.
Subway Dinner
City people are always eating on the go. That doesn’t mean they can’t have a civilized dinner, though. Just take a note from this guy who brought his folding table on the subway to enjoy his dinner between meetings.
Cat Napper
This woman smuggled her little kitten on board the subway. Sometimes you just need a friend to walk through the city with you.
