Photo by myself, below ground.
The morning commute is usually very quiet, with people tuning into the news on their devices or perhaps even a book, or catching the last bit of a nap.
Partially out of view, a man was reading his ipad. You can see the ghostly glow cast on his face.
There are periods in the winter, where you barely get a hint of sun. There is a five-minute walk to the subway, then tunnels, then a five-minute walk to the office. Some office workers stay in for lunch and eat at their desks.
I think this is why people are in their grumbly moods.

The Morning Commute, Below Ground

As a retired bus driver I know how quiet it can be it on the morning trip. Also the smell of perfume and makeup is much stronger.
Looks like a trip in asia but it is vital to have so much newcomers in town. It keeps the city vital and the economy growing.
A real commuter photo, it goes on and on for years, until you are retired ha,ha!
A correct assumption I think. We have had a couple of days with sunshine and every one is slowly waking up again after the long and dark winter.
Last bit of nap is always a great with all. And the morning commute is usually very quiet and peaceful. Tribeca Parking
this is a great shot. & I would love for all of these commuters to see themselves (just as they are - out and about living their lives) in your photos one day.
& I agree most of us do better with a bit of sunshine & outdoor activity each day.
hope you get a chance to do so today before it gets to cloudy, again.
And no eye contact!
The lack of sun coupled with the frigid long winters is exactly why I left the north. Hopefully, you'll have an early spring.
I have no trouble imagining how this can make folks grumpy, but isn't it odd that not one person here has said something like, "Oh, but it also builds community, a sense of brotherhood"? Herd mentality trumped by "Don't fence me in"?
