Riding the subway in NYC is cheap, efficient, and often, highly irritating. It’s like a concentration of the most inconsiderate and rude people know to man, but hopefully one graphic designing prankster can help. Artist Jay Shells informed us of his ‘Subway Etiquette’ poster campaign:
I surveyed 100 people on their top pet-peeves (not service related) while riding the Subway. I narrowed the results down to the top ten most occurring issues and rewrote them as a sort of list of rules. I designed posters in the style of the Service Changes posters we see everyday and silkscreened about 40 of each (400 total) and am currently putting them up on trains throughout the city, throughout this week. I encourage people to look out for them, and to take them before the MTA does.
UPDATE: The campaign has begun!
I don't know, some of those "excuse me" types are ok. Well, one of them – he serenaded specific cute girls on the train, and solicited change by stating that he wasn't homeless YET and would we please support his dream. Very charming.
Re: people pushing into the train as people are trying to exit – in some areas, people exit on one side and enter on the other – might explain why people enter the train before all have exited. OR they're pushed during rush hour. So don't let that ruin your day; a few seconds here and there aren't that bad.
Everybody – RELAX.
