Here They Are: The Best and Worst City Transit Scenes
The Straphangers Campaign and Transportation Alternatives have chosen the winners for their best and worst of New York City Transit photo contest. The top “Good Transit Scene" was "Break of Day " by Sabrina Porter, while John Wehmeyer took the prize for best “Bad Transit Scene" with ""Reassuring? Not so much!"
Porter and Wehmeyer will each receive a 30-day MetroCard. Check out honorable mentions here.

Not to diminish Wehmeyer's victory, but White reminds us of another transit tableau that is sure to go down in history as one of the most repulsive of all time:
