These images always catch my breath, as this is how closely the subway cars pass each other in the tunnels. You are seeing the #2 line with persons riding, as you are seated in a car on the #1 line. They can be speeding at 40 – 50 miles per hour.

The Longest Bus
Perhaps it is the same in other cities, but I find these double length crosstown busses, incredibly long. And this picture is Not from the back of the bus…
Michelin
