Photo by myself, somewhere underground.
The lighting on some subway trains can be surprisingly good.
The trains vary depending on the subway route. The cars on the 1/2/3/9 routes are very narrow, while the ones on the B/D/F are much wider. Some cars have LED signs and automated recordings announcing the subway stops. Older cars don't.
I think the above photo is on a B, D or F train. The interior is stainless steel, which prevents paint from sticking. The result is a lot of reflective surfaces to bounce the light around. It's like riding in a tin can.
By chance, Saturday Night Fever was on TV Thursday night when I was writing this. The subway has come a long way since the 70's!
Happy Friday, Everyone!

Great movie! Great song! Awesome city!!
Amsterdam subway still looked like this, since a short time they glued plastic posters over it. It is a bit better but it looks so poor...
oh yeah the 70's.
That film: "The Warriors" takes me back!
Gotta join this NYC street blog. Very cool.

Your photo really makes me feel I'm there. In NY, there must never be nothing to see and wonder about.
