Don't use the elevator to go between subway platforms when you need to change trains in New York....I did that for the first time last year and there was a huge turd on the floor of the elevator. Just use the stairs, you're better off.

One thing to remember is that, yes, that awful smell is normal.

It's cheaper for a single person than driving (and slower) but not for a group.
It's a good idea to bring something to do.

There's nothing bad really about it, unless the people on it make it bad. That happens sometimes, but that happens with driving too.
Upsides: it's much more predictable than urban auto traffic, which jams easily. A well-run urban rail system can carry 40,000-70,000 people/track per hour, while a highway can only carry some 2000 or so cars per lane mile (figure most of these will have 1 person in them, and even at maximum efficiency that's probably only around 8000 people/lane per hour).
Downsides: service frequency can be scant at times. Some systems are dirty (New York has that reputation, and it's partly fair). Often routes were designed a century ago, and poorly serve populated areas outside of traditional downtowns (in New York, you'll find New York's Subway heavily oriented towards bringing people to and from Manhattan, but not very good at travel between, say, The Bronx and Queens).
Different systems have different idiosyncracies. New York's system is great for its architecture. Some stations have art in them. Paris is great for art. Washington has neat architecture.

I've only ridden the Metro Rail in Washington DC! It's very clean and efficient and takes you most anywhere you need to go! You do not want to drive in Washington DC if you don't have to!!
When riding the subway do you always sit in a seat or do you ride between cars?(subway storys welcome, Moongrim, not the sandwich either ;)

Have you ever been on a bus or plane where someone behind you kept kicking your seat? What, if anything, did you do about it?
