À propos du livre
People who don't know NYC or the NYC Subway system often perceive it as a dangerous place. And perhaps it can be dangerous. However, it is evident that people feel a sense of security among strangers. It is not unusual to see people asleep on the train, possibly even leaning on a stranger. That is a sign of trust and a willingness to be vulnerable.
Somehow these millions of people who travel underground each day understand, accept and abide by this culture. Yes, there is a transit police force, but somehow, 4.3 million people have found a way to coexist and govern themselves without too much of an imposed organizational structure.
This book captures this culture in a wonderful series of photographs by Herb Bardavid
