Ok, some are going to catch the train, too. You just never know when it's your lucky day.
"There is no quintessential NYC experience quite like running down a subway station platform with your arms flapping all about like a distressed penguin, making eye contact with the conductor, and then hesitantly stretching out your hand to try to slip between the doors before they close," according to Ben Yakas.
For every transit triumph, however, the universe demands a high price in missed trains and high headways.
New York filmmaker and photographer Jessica Leibowitz filmed a montage of the multitudes of New York subway riders on either side of this transit yin and yang. As Yakas explains, the video isn't about mockery: "it's about empathizing with straphangers in our collective daily struggle to get where we're going."
