new york city subway

I have always enjoyed taking trips to New York, especially when my trip is heavy in New York City subway transportation. I find there to be so many misconceptions about the New York City subway system and silly fears. No matter the situation, using common sense and awareness makes problems and uncomfortable situations very easily avoidable. I have never once felt scared or uneasy on the New York subway.

One time, I got a friend to come with me to New York and when I told her that we were going to be riding on the New York City subway for our next location, her jaw nearly hit the floor. I do not know what she had been told about the train, but she was very apprehensive about going down into the subway station. However, once I got her into the station and she saw the street performers and artists, she was put at ease. Then when we got into the train car, she had a blast. It just goes to show that you can never really know something until you know it personally.
