30+ Hysterical Photos That Prove Commuting By Subway Is Never Boring

One of the most convenient and affordable modes of public commute is the subway and some people seem to ditch their vehicles while going to work to avoid dealing with the rush hour traffic on the roads. Subways may be overflowing with people but there’s always a tiny space for another human to fit in as everyone is quite welcoming. Subways can be truly the most amusing place to be in with all kinds of people taking the same journey. Some are immersed in their own thoughts while sitting amid the jam-packed space of rapid transit while others have a sense of humor effortlessly. We have compiled the most hilarious subway moments that will take you back on that underground journey.

A Knight In A Swarming Subway

Even the knights have to take a subway to head back home after a long day of fighting tough battles with the evils. This person deserves the best outfit award for a subway ride and the ones who hate to fake smile at their fellow passengers and can’t deal with the chaos inside those doors, this look belongs to them. The shield and the gloves complete the knight look impeccably and we can’t wait for our next subway ride to try hiding with such an appearance.

Subway Ride For A Wrapped Dog

While there are some restrictions on bringing your pet for a subway ride, some people just can’t follow the rules. However, the ones who have no conveyance option apart from a subway have to come up with a trick to take their pets on the underground train and safely dodge the authorities. This woman wrapped her dog in a bag and pretended to carry that confidently. But that adorable pooch’s face with tongue sticking out can’t be concealed for long. We hope they reached their destination without any obstacles.

The Booze Snooze

This group of guys probably didn’t realize the number of drinks they gulped down at some checkered theme party and took a subway only to doze off. Two of them relaxed on the seat and the third one found solace on the floor. We wonder if someone sober accompanied them on the train or else, they would have missed their station. This group is definitely vowing to refrain from booze for the next few weeks. We are glad someone captured this moment for them to treasure forever.

Rehearsing The Apology

This guy is all set to apologize to his partner for whatever he did wrong and we guess that it was something huge that only pizza could rectify. He had to carry an enormous pizza box in the subway and even write one “I’M SORRY” message while on his way to repairing the relationship. Subways tell the tales that we can never know in our personal vehicles. We might not know if this guy ended his day on a happy note but at least, someone captured his natural emotions during that moment.

In The Einstein Era

This subway may have the powers of time travel as someone spotted Einstein taking a ride in there. He might be conducting another research beyond the theories of relativity. Let’s come back into the present and realize that the subways are just a fascinating means of conveyance with so much to explore in the crowds. The person who clicked this picture despite standing amid the area teeming with people was surely intrigued by the old man with Einstein-inspired looks and managed to take out the phone and seize the timeless moment.

Gardening In Subway

While the entire subway ride can feel dull and monotonous, something that can uplift the environment is the presence of plants. So, one florist decided to take his business to the subway and enliven the place. We guess it worked as this subway looks a lot brighter and livelier with all those plants making their way to another station. People seem to be amused by this idea and we can tell that a few of them could not resist and buy flowers for their loved ones or for their homes. Can this happen more often?

Airpods Security

The latest technology might have impressed the millennials but our parents find it a little challenging to keep pace with the latest trends. However, their efforts are truly commendable and this picture direct from a subway is proof of that. This dad bought new Airpods to keep him entertained and peaceful during the noisy subway rides but he could not trust the grip of them on his ears. That’s when he came up with this trick of using surgical tape to hold them tight and avoid any loss.

A Subway Tattoo

This woman just casually tied her hair in a bun and when she could not find a hair tie or another hair accessory to hold the bun in place, she used her pen for that purpose. But the pen led to some serious art on her neck that someone captured and shared. This would be her subway tattoo that can be a bit tough to wash away. Strangely, she never felt the pen against her skin throughout the journey. She must be too engrossed in her thoughts to realize the art being created on her neck.

Trending Today: Checkered Shirt

We spot three guys wearing the same checkered shirt in three different styles in this subway. Isn’t this insanely interesting? Such scenes are only witnessed in subways as where else would you find three adults wearing similar shirts and not realizing the situation. We can guess that these three people work at the same place and that might be their uniform but we would also like to believe that the checkered shirts are in trend and these specific ones were probably available at a discounted price. So, people grabbed them instantly!

Have You Seen My Books?

The box clearly mentioned that it contained “BOOKS” but the little bird could not help but take a sneak peek into the outside world through a tiny window on the box. What if the bird was named “BOOKS”? That would be a clever move by the owner. Subways have certain restrictions regarding animals or poultry on the train but what if one has to bring a furry friend along for the ride? Such tricks may work if those animal friends are not too curious to escape or talk to fellow passengers.

Perfect Travel Partner

If there’s one thing that can make people cheerful after a long day at work, it’s a dog in a stroller. Well, who wouldn’t want to have a conversation with this adorable furry friend on the subway who is definitely looking like a boss in that stroller wearing a helmet? That dog may not have accustomed to the subway environment but we are sure the owners would continue to bring the canine for more such rides. That dog will steal many hearts on its way.

How To Grow A Beard In Seconds

This woman was just reading a magazine while taking a subway ride but someone clicked an amusing moment when she placed the magazine just at the right place in front of her face. This is how one can grow a beard in a matter of few seconds without much effort. This is the power of being on a subway with entertainment emerging at every corner of the underground. This particular photo can be easily called a perfectly-timed picture in a subway.

Next Stop: Antarctica

The penguins were eager to get on the subway and so, they all reached the station just in time and this is how it looked when the subways stopped there to give a ride to these Antarctica sea birds. Okay, let’s talk real for a moment – what are all these people dressed as penguins doing at one station waiting for the subway? Is there a penguin convention and we didn’t receive the memo for it? It looks like the entire staff of an office was directed to wear a penguin costume for Halloween celebrations and this is what happened.

A Trail Of Hair After A War

This station must have witnessed a harsh war between people with a full head of hair but they may have gone home with none after the fight. Spotting all these wigs or actual hair at a subway spot can be an eerie experience and one would prefer turning back and not catching the subway from this station. It’s hard to tell who won this battle but lost all the hair from the mysterious evidence left for the passersby. All we can hope that this wasn’t a crime scene but just another costume party aftermath.

Petting The Bananas

When you can’t have a pet but still bought a leash, this is how you can use it. This woman had no regrets as she sat on the station with bananas tied to a leash waiting for the subway to arrive. The subway rules definitely don’t say anything about carrying bananas in a way one would travel with a pet. This woman may have wanted a furry friend really eagerly but turns out, she could not bring one home and this is how she lived her dream of petting an animal.

Never Missing That Train Again

It looks like someone might have missed their morning subway way too many times and reached late to work. This is how they dealt with the situation! Lifting a bed with a mattress and a few sheets down the stairs to the subway station sounds like a lot of hard work. But this person accomplished the task and dozed off for a good night’s sleep to wake up and catch the train in time. Imagine being in such a deep sleep that you don’t hear the sound of the subway stopping at the station and missing it yet again despite all this setup. Nightmare alert!

The Bird’s Watching You

When you are too fascinated by birds, you will either love being around them or have bird faces all over your clothing. This man turned out to be a latter personality who picked a t-shirt with a birdie that looked so real in all ways. This man’s fellow passenger on the subway noticed this unconventional t-shirt with a bird who kept staring at him from a distance and clicked the picture when the man fell asleep. This is why subways are one of the most entertaining places to be at.

It’s A “BYOC” Subway

While the BYOB parties are trending, the older adults have created their own version of this for the overcrowded subway rides where they are unable to find a seat to relax. So, why not bring your own chair (BYOC) to the subway? This man with a vibrant woolen scarf is comfortably seated in the middle of the train. We might prepare ourselves to witness more such trends inside the subway as time goes by. People may bring portable chairs to the train and adjust them at a fixed spot in the flooding subway.

Subway Door Transformation

Once upon a time, the subway had automatic sliding doors, and then, a temporary wall replaced those doors. When the budget is all messed up, this is what the authorities came up with to fix a broken subway door. They may have called in an amateur for this process as this doesn’t look like it would stay in place for long. Also, the safety announcements need to be louder and specific if they are running a subway with a door like this. People need to stand far away from this “wall” to avoid any severe accidents.

The (Racket) Size Matters

This guy is definitely a tennis fan as he carries this jumbo racket with him on the subway. It might be just a piece for decorating his home as one can barely hold it with one hand, let alone play with it. From miniature stuff captivating us at the markets, now these giant things are attracting customers. The sports players would be impressed by the equipment for their respective games being built in such a huge size. They can treasure a massive racket, a jumbo bat, or a gigantic football at their houses to pay tribute to the game they play.

Dress Code For Subways

That smile tells it all! This guy was elated to be in sync with the subway’s style and we would love to experience such a day too. He is thrilled to be on the train for a ride and grab a seat for a camouflage moment and captured it for an exciting memory. The subway may be trying to be vibrant and cheerful for its passengers by donning these lively hues. We all love a train with a buzzing appearance. BRB, we are headed for a shopping spree to buy this t-shirt.

A Serendipitous Hat

While this man was engaged in some deep conversation on his phone, he became a part of the subway amusement as the passenger sitting right in front of him managed to click a perfectly-timed picture with a tiny hat on his head. We wish the person behind the camera revealed the moment to this man later as we can imagine the confused yet charming reaction. Let’s vow to celebrate the subway journeys with such hysterical moments every day.

A Carnival In The Subway

Balloons will always grab our attention regardless of our age as we still have a kid alive in our hearts. So, this person decided to indulge in balloon art on the subway and the outcome is quite impressive. The balloon decorations enlivened the aura of the subway. The picture is revealing the person behind this brilliant job and you can see him smiling trying to hide his excitement. The subway is emanating carnival spirits with those colorful additions. Where do we sign up for a ride on such a radiant train?

Hiding The Turtle Powers From The World

This man might look calm and composed reading those papers on the subway but when our eyes fell on that mysterious turtle shell, we knew that this person is filled with a lot of secrets. He was definitely trying to hide something below the seat but it didn’t play too well for him as someone captured the bewildering scene. We bet that the kids would be excited to have a glimpse of that backpack in the shape of a turtle shell. Even we wish that we could be present at that moment to solve the mystery by initiating a conversation with the guy. Anyway, let’s try and not pry!

Chop, Chop!

Our routines can be disrupted with just one extra task at work and when you have planned a dinner get-together at home, this is what you have to engage in on the ride back home. This woman probably purchased a few vegetables from the store and decided to chop them on the subway. She is completely unbothered by the stares she is receiving as her entire focus must be on the dinner. She may even have other ingredients in her huge bag to make sure she is ready to serve the meal as soon as she reaches home.

A Friendly Reminder

This sign from the London Underground might sound unconventional to a few people but this is how the British people prefer their journeys in the Underground. The trains are not a place to socialize, interact or build connections in London as this sign reveals. So, the next time you find yourself in the city waiting for the subway, remind yourself to stay in your zone, wear your earphones, and let your phone be your best friend for the entire duration of that journey.

Serenading The Passengers

For a slightly longer journey on a subway, people need to engage in certain activities to steer clear of monotony. Most of us seek shelter from boredom in our phones while a few bring their favorite books along and let their minds wander in a land of stories. In addition to these types of people, there’s another guy who manages to pull in a didgeridoo in the subway and play it for fellow passengers. His instrument surely took a lot of space on the subway carriage but as long as the music was melodious, we can deal with it, right?

What Are You Craving?

There can be times when we are famished but have to sit in the subway without eating a bite. That’s actually quite a prevalent issue with the ones who travel by this means of conveyance every day. So, imagine an eating point inside the subway for people to fulfill their craving on the go. This is like a dream come true for all the regular subway riders and this should be a common sight in most of the underground trains. People would be queueing in front of the store to grab a meal for the rest of the journey and we can picture that moment.

Always Here For You, Buddy!

This is such a heartwarming picture that makes us shower all the love on animals. The guy found a perfect furry friend and a travel buddy who was glued to his back on the train. It seems like they share an incredible bond and would stay by each other’s side forever. Who would not want to have a furry partner in all phases of their lives? The way that pooch looks over his friend is worth melting for. Such subway moments can bring a tear or two in our eyes nut it’s all worth it. We know these trains have limitations when it comes to bringing pet animals along but here’s hoping that we encounter more such scenes.

Adventures Of A Leprechaun

We are intrigued by this leprechaun who is all set with his luggage and a pot (of gold?) and heading to some fantasy land on this regular subway. The kids would love to meet this man and they may have even approached him for hearing a magical spell for calling the rainbows. The man looks a little grumpy as we can tell from this picture but that can just be some exhaustion reflecting on his face after looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He must be headed home for taking a breather after all those fairyland adventures.

An Eccentric Lunch Break

When you have been working since morning and could not spare a few minutes to grab a bite, this is how your lunch break might look like. The guy even arranged a portable table to place his food conveniently to relish the meal after a long wait. While people may be munching on a burrito or a sandwich on the subway, this kind of settled lunch is not something we usually see on the Underground. That’s what special about the subways – you witness the unique scenes!

Peacock Settling In The Human World

The subways have seen all sorts of people get on board and have distinct experiences on the train but animals usually don’t use this mode of conveyance to reach places unless their human friends sneak them inside a subway carriage. This peacock with dense, long, and beautiful feathers had never bought a ticket for a ride in the subway but her friend wanted her to accompany him on the ride. The guy is not regretting that move at all as he is posing confidently with his bird. The peacock may need some more space to spread those gorgeous feathers to alert that the destination has arrived.

Rushing In A Robe

This guy doesn’t seem even a bit hesitant about that bright pink robe and some offbeat glasses while standing in the subway waiting for his stop to arrive. Either he had no time to dress up for work that day or his friends were having an early costume party. No one can tell what actually happened there! He even has a pink hat on his head to complete the dramatic look. Those white shoes may be the only thing that doesn’t look strange for a subway but then, slippers would have suited the whole look better.

Mirror, Mirror On The Subway

The mirror selfie once took over the world of social media and it still continues to be a favorite for many as we can tell from this picture. The man carrying the giant mirror grabbed the attention of the two other passengers who quickly jumped in to take a mirror selfie and post it on social media. We think the mirror owner didn’t even notice that someone just took advantage of his accessory on the train. Oh, mirror on the train, is this selfie sane?

Pikachu’s Travel Tales

Just when the electric powers of this Pikachu drained, the creature had to step into the real world and experience the ordinary struggles of traveling by subway. Poor Pikachu! It would be a treat for our eyes to see such a fantasy land creature in public transport even if it means that some human is wearing the costume of the adorable creature and it’s not real. Sometimes, we crave the childhood where we believed in tooth fairies and cartoon characters. It was a simple world!

Just A Harmless Guest

When subways have rules stating that no animals can travel on the train, animal lovers have to find a way to carry them along without anyone noticing. This woman took advantage of her oversized coat and hid the little kitten inside it. When someone clicked the moment, the little feline had to make an adorable appearance while the woman rolled her eyes at the one behind the camera. Subways are for adventures!

Gentleman Hamster

There are days when you love your pets a little extra and can’t leave them home alone. So, you have to tie a leash and take them to work with you. This man might have been in a tough spot when he chose to give his hamster a ride on the subway and take him to his workplace. The little pet is well-dressed and trained to be a subway traveler. Such sights at the subway station uplift our spirits and we are team hamsters always.

Drink And Ride

The story behind this picture is as hysterical as it seems. Turns out, a bottle of wine snuck out from its hiding place and caught these guys’ attention. So, they couldn’t wait till the ride ended and decided to open the bottle and have a wine party right there. Next time, check under your seats, and maybe if luck is by your side, you may find free booze for an unexpected happy hour experience.

Family Halloween

If you are looking for Halloween inspiration, hop on a subway and look around – you will find someone dressed as their favorite animated character or just another imaginary creature traveling casually. This family of three might have grabbed a lot of attention (all in a positive way!) with their hugely creative costumes that are worth following for the next big costume party of the year. Also, subway fashion needs to be a thing!

Unhealthy Subway Reading

If you are a bibliophile and would take your books on the subway for a quick reading session, make sure you are not reading anything that would make people question your choice of books. This guy was immersed in a chapter of a book titled “How to meet women on the subway” while a woman is seated right beside him. This man needs to take a break from reading and focus on his surroundings to fix a date. There’s too much to learn from the outside world.

Traveling With A Hammock

There is a high possibility that the subway that drops you at your work in the morning would be entirely occupied and you’ll have to stand and travel for the whole journey. Here’s an idea – carry a hammock and tie it up for an adventurous journey. This guy is chilling as if he is on vacation and such subway moments are worth capturing. People are being innovative in order to experience a smooth and comfortable subway ride.

Practicing Social Distancing

When you are not in a mood for any public interaction and want to spend some time with yourself, this is how to communicate your desire of staying alone on the subway. This woman just brought a vibrant cage in the shape of a ball to shield herself from the chatterboxes that might be her co-passengers on the train. No one will dare to cross this dome and the woman is safe from the forced conversations.

For All The Sleepy Heads

While we try our best to achieve a healthy sleep cycle, binge-watching leaves us sleep-deprived on most of the days. So, we tend to take a nap on the subway while on our way to work in the morning but then, the embarrassing moments can be plenty. So, to avoid those awkward situations while taking a nap on public transport, build an attachment that holds your head and won’t let your head fall on someone’s shoulder or prevent even worse disasters like falling on the ground.

Stuart’s Subway Adventures

Apart from dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters, animal lovers are keeping little mouses as pets too. Well, Stuart Little inspired so many to be friends with a mouse. But if you missed the tiny rodent’s subway adventures, here is how it went. It looks like the snuggles with the little pet are very cozy and the train ride would have been full of curious stares and clicking pictures.

Straight Out Of A Fairytale

In the modern fairytale, the prince is not traveling on a royal chariot but is taking a train to propose to the love of his life. That’s realistic and still romantic! All eyes must have been on this man and his dapper look. That hat is taking us back in time and we wish the trend comes back. He is even holding a gift and the co-passengers might want an invitation to this party he is heading to as it seems fun from the way he is dressed.

Plunge Into The Subway

It was just another day on the train and this woman decided to carry her plunger along in the subway to have something to hold onto in case of sudden jolts on the way. But the internet is divided and can’t decide if this is a healthy option to rely on. Firstly, the amount of germs on that thing is frightening and secondly, a plunger is not an attractive accessory to carry along on the streets. So, this tactic may not receive many votes.

Traveling Tomato

Remember him? It’s the same tomato slice that you picked out of your burger the other day. It’s commuting back to its home and finding a place that will know its worth. Jokes apart – why is someone dressed as a tomato on a train? There might be a tomato conference being held somewhere or maybe people are protesting to save tomatoes. The latter sounds trending and more believable.

Commuting To The Future

When you are asked to show an experience of 10 years at the age of 10, this is how you achieve that. Either you travel to the future and gain that experience or you dress up like a 35-year-old man with a thick stache. Now, if “done with the day” had an adult face, this is what it will look like. He is confidently sitting on the subway with no adult supervision and his style must have created a frenzy on the train. Subways tell the weirdly hilarious tales and we look forward to them.

Super Subway

Even the superheroes need to take a subway after fighting the evils all day. One thing about this picture that intrigues us is their topic of conversation. Were they talking about their next move to save the world or were they gossiping about their enemies? Their discussion must have been equally powerful as their characters and we can only wish to be included in this party. This should definitely count as a Marvel-ous experience.

Customized High-End Bag

When all your colleagues are carrying expensive bags from upscale brands but your budget doesn’t favor you, this is how you have to keep up with the trends. We salute this person for having such confidence to be able to flaunt a “vintage” bag with the popular and high-end brand’s name written with a marker. This world needs more self-assured personalities to travel around in the trains and motivate their slightly timid co-passengers.

Hang In There, Pooch

Our adorable four-legged furry friends want to travel the world too and what’s better than a cozy submarine-shaped backpack to stay inside while on a subway. This woman may have just found a brilliant thing to move around safely and smoothly with your pet. That little puppy is settled in there and we hope it is feeling comfortable in that yellow backpack. The world is advancing and such products for pets might become a hit among people really soon.

Making Up For Skipped Workout

This grandpa missed his workout session that day and decided to perform certain stunts in the subway itself. It’s a crazy world out there and people can’t waste even a second of their precious time. So, they utilize the commute time to complete their daily tasks that can be done while traveling. Who thought that you can work out while riding on a train? This man is raising the bars of fitness for all of us. Climbing on the support attachments for quick physical exercise is better than sitting or standing aimlessly.
