It's all in how you fold it. Generally a good list. I have a particular peeve with pole huggers. Long time New York residents tend to know how to ride the subway and read the New York Times.

What do you do, haul around elephants in boxes all the time so all that cab fare adds up? The days you have lots of crap, take a cab! Not hard!! Besides, you even get to watch TV in them nowadays. Lol. James — suck it up and pay. What do you do, haul around elephants in boxes all the time so all that cab fare adds up? The days you have lots of crap, take a cab! Not hard!!

I think these were very good tips, thank you. It’s alright, James is probably the type that gets into screaming fights on the Subway all of the time.

I am always on the train with my luggage-- one rolling suitcase + one tote bag (both of which I carry onto the airplane). I am really referring to those people who bring multiple, huge suitcases that could double for a body bags. I also try to miss rush-hour because of the killer looks I get from other passengers. JAMES-- Thanks for your comments about the "map seat" I'll try to remember what you said next time somebody is three inches away from my face looking at the map. And I'll be happy to let you know "WTF"-- I never said that you shouldn't bring a backpack onboard. I said "no" to big luggage and "carry your backpack in front" so you don't unknowingly hit others with it. PHIL– Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
