You will never get rich people on the subway because they value time, convenience, comfort, and privacy, four things the subway really doesn't provide.

- estebank 2y agoIt can provide the first 3 of those. And conflating "privacy" with "not being around people" is IMO inaccurate. Not learning how to be around people is also I think a driver of some larger societal issues.

- giaour 2y agoI haven't lived in NYC for about a decade, but the subway was the quickest and most convenient way to get from my home (lower Harlem) to my place of work (Flatiron district). Taking a taxi was more comfortable and private, but it took longer and was subject to the vagaries of traffic and cab availability.
- jakelazaroff 2y agoNot at all true in NYC. Rich or poor, car owner or not, basically everyone takes the subway.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoHave you ever been to NY? The subway is often the best way to get around the city, especially if you're in Manhattan.
