Here is a video of a rat on a packed subway car

Oh sure the above video might make you reach for a cheap #deblasiosnewyork joke or even decry the state of our gross subway cars. But we prefer to take comfort in the scene, and see it as a great equalizer and flattening out of privilege. Black or white, gay or straight, rich, poor or somewhere in between: when the subway rat comes for you, you too will become a quivering screaming mess trying desperately to claw your way out of a speeding metal tube. And isn’t that what New York is really about, when you stop and think?

Keep those legs up!

The lady in the white pants is hillarious. "Shut up!"

Either its a car or a train it should be cleaned before starting. It is very bad to know that passengers are facing problems due to rats.

I came for a rat on a packed subway car.

Clearly you are unfamiliar with the NYC subway. This car isn't even half full.

Hello
Now having a car is a status for everyone. People totally depend on car to perform their day to day work. Every Americans spend an average of 75 minutes a day in their car, but using cell phones while riding or taking a drink before driving is a bad habit of people. :)
