The New York Times Lens blog today has some great photos of commuters racing for trains. The introduction to the photos is very poetic:
"To navigate New York’s mass transit is to experience all of this competitive city’s struggles, pleasures and pains, only transposed underground, into the subterranean arena otherwise known as a train station. Faced with sprints, crowded staircases and down-to-the-minute departure times, the successful urban traveler must display an agility and athleticism akin to a gladiator’s.
And in an environment where seconds count, there are glorious triumphs and heartbreaking defeats."
