"One of the largest collection of life underground statues in New York subway. They are everywhere!! Loved these bronze little men depicting various aspects of life"

"Good evening #MTA transportation team in NY, tonight, May 31, 2024, I get on the transportation and to get to my destination I use the service To destination at 208 st, I get into the metro and since it was very full, I do not right side next to the door that connects with another section, but unfortunately the man in the photo did not like that I stood next to him, I don't know why, whether because I was a man, because I was white or what, the important thing was that He made me get out of the way when the other people (women) were watching and it seemed like a shame that he treated me that way. It is not the first time that I am a tourist, it is not the first time that I have visited the USA nor the first that I have visited NY, but that does happen to me, and because I do not respond as I should, because I am far from my country and alone, there are countries that tourism is being damaged and it is our duty to make the situation known so that it does not happen again and people like him respond."

"Really nice station. Last stop on the L line, which I board at its first stop. Train is always waiting for me. Elevator up, or take the stairs and a ramp. All sorts of little metal sculpture people busy along the way. Then shoot down a staircase for the A, C or E lines uptown or downtown. Usually a number of cops hanging out to make you feel safe."

"Great station. Has art, bathrooms, elevator, wheelchair accessible, and clean too! Also, the E train will take you to the JFK airport. How cool is that??!! And the L to the east side of Manhattan and then to Brooklyn."

"Attempting to get to Grand Central Terminal from 13th and Washington, I went down into the A C F line thinking it would get me there. As I was going down the stairs onto the uptown train platform, I could not help but notice an amazing little bronze sculpture sitting on the high beams. Of course I immediately begun photographing. Then at the bottom of the steps I saw a train guide and I asked him how long the little sculpture had bee there? "It must be very old", I said. "No!" he replied, 10 or 15 years. They are all over this station. Look around you, they are everywhere." I begun to photograph...
