- Summary:
- Three and a half million travellers use the New York subway system every day. Briefcase wielding city workers share their morning rides with peddlers, street musicians, the down and out, pickpockets and drug addicts. This film explores the underground world in all its diversity, from the fre-netic rush hour traffic to the eerie solitude of early morning runs. We meet the thriving subculture that is both frightening and fascinating. Besides those who merely use the subway as transportation, there are those who work there, those who live there, and those who commit crimes there. For any discussion of twentieth century urban life, Subway City will bring its own gritty reality into the classroom.
