Sardines

The public transportation system is pretty nice here; clean, easy and relatively efficient. I hadn't experienced the subway during peak rush hour until this weekend. It is pure insanity. As the train approached, we were essentially herded into the car, bouncing off everyone around us. I was able to get my arm up to take a picture:



This does not even capture how packed it was. I could not stop laughing the entire time we were on the train because it was the strangest feeling being so close to all these people. At one point my feet were not on the ground, I was suspended, wedged in between two people. All of us joked about not having to walk to work, but instead just floating there with the crowd. It doesn't really leave you with much choice as to where you're going. I would imagine people many times are forced to get off the train simply because the 20 people surrounding them carried them out.
