Take the subway?

[Krgrecw]

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College released a study on Thursday that mapped DNA found in New York’s subway system — a crowded, largely subterranean behemoth that carries 5.5 million riders on an average weekday, and is filled with hundreds of species of bacteria (mostly harmless), the occasional spot of bubonic plague, and a universe of enigmas. Almost half of the DNA found on the system’s surfaces did not match any known organism and just 0.2 percent matched the human genome.

Bah, avoiding germs is not the answer IMO. Lick the subway poles!

Yeah I am sure you will attest to this as well. Europe has amazing public transportation. So easy to navigate without being able to speak the language. At least in all of my experiences.

I pissed on the subway in Philly years ago. Went there for a Braves game back in 2007 I believe. Left CBP after a Braves loss. Was leaving down the stairs, puked on a crowd of Phillies fans. Pissed on the vacant car on the subway seconds before a stop...myself and another completely sober Phillies fan.
