Heres how I do itwithout going nuts.
That means, unfortunately, that you wont have any signal on your cellphone.
you might often grab one of those empty cards, load money onto it, and save a buck.
And if youre just visiting town, most cities offer a 7-day pass too.
That really depends on how the particular station is oriented.
I always tell people to just ask for help.
Theyre so intimidated and scared of asking.
They dont want to seem lost.
People crowd around the doors and youll likely find a bit more space towards the center.
If you want to be left alone,wear headphones.
Headphones are like a social interaction invisibility cloak.
Occasionally you do run into more difficult people to deal with, whether theyre intoxicated or just seem unstable.
If no ones in danger, its really best to ignore them completely.
Honestly, Ive rarely had any problems with anyone on the subway.
