That’s a funny one!
Crowding is so bad that on the 4, 5, 6 and L lines, trains during the morning rush exceed the transit agency’s loading guidelines, which posit that every rider should have at least a three-square-foot space to stand in (that translates to a square patch of car floor 20 inches on each side).–NYT
3 Square Feet?!?! That sounds like a luxury! Wow!
Does that amount of free space even exist on a rush-hour 4,5 or 6 train?
