Hey, look, everyone, the New Yorker is being clever.

Yes, because a writer from the new yorker understands the experience of riding the subway after midnight.

Unironically on the right track, instead, simply remove people behaving badly.

Not the onion. 2/10. Not fun or clever. Written by someone who was paid to do so.

Replying to YellowFingerz (#500,535)

New Yorker contributors are usually just freelance and this guy specifically is a freelance comedy writer who's in his 30's. I doubt he's anything close to wealthy, freelance journalism doesn't pay that much. So yeah he probably takes the subway and does so late at night as well.

Imagine finding comedy in "subway safety - LOL!!!!" Monstrous. The person who wrote this article should have to explain to Michelle Go's family exactly what they found so hilarious about the complex problem of increasing subway safety.

The “comedian” who wrote this article DEFINITELY works from home.

Visited NYC last month and took the subway a lot in the week I was there. Took the subway in Manhattan at all hours, even alone at 2AM, always felt safe, granted I am a white male in his 30s.
