    This feels like the scared, naive, suburbanite’s take on cities and public transit. Like, do you really think a system with 3 million daily riders has constant brawls?

      It’s a comic from WokelyCorrect. I’d be surprised if they even know how to ride transit.

        I legit thought the name was satire, like The SoyPill on YouTube.

        Wow, it turns out he’s actually serious. Jeez.

        Oof I didn’t even notice the author

        I like making people laugh & I dislike Woke politics. So I made these comics for us to laugh at Woke politics together and push back against its stupidities. I will stop mocking when it leaves us alone.

        Author seems to be an absolute idiot.

        I have had many, many, uneventful subway rides. Most of the time it’s just people sitting and/or standing quietly. Boring is a little more subjective- someone might find people watching interesting, but even then sometimes off-peak it can be sparsely populated. Sitting in quiet non-interaction for 25 minutes with an old lady reading, a middle aged guy dozing, and another person silently looking at their phone isn’t very exciting, but that’s a lot of rides.

        Like, this is people’s daily commute. It’s not the warriors. It’s not whatever wacky video surfaced on youtube. Most of the time it’s just transit, and good transit is pretty boring.

      I gather that the 80s was a whole different scene in the NYC subway. Plenty of pics out there!

      Only time I was there was in '92 and it was nice enough.

        Yeah, I’m not old enough to have experienced the city in the 70s and 80s. I’ve heard stories but it’s hard to say how credible some of them are, but I believe the city is a lot nicer than it was back then.

        Like, Bryant Park is a nice patch of green in Manhattan. They do yoga classes there. There’s a holiday market. People used to call it needle park because it had some a drug user problem.

        Places change.

          yeah, I’m also not quite old enough for that, but the modern conservative narrative would have you believe that most cities are actual warzones right now that are worse than the 80s. i imagine it was similar then. it’s hard to trust what people try to tell you about it anymore.

      Helsinki subway is much, much smaller and this joke would work for it. Sometimes you see wild stuff in there
