Subways are the easiest way to get around Boston but not the most fun! It seems no matter what day or time of day you get on the trains they are crowded with people and not always the "nicest" people either. Finally after all these years the MBTA is starting a campaign to let these people who get a kick out of groping women know that we aren't going to take it any more. I've had it happen to me only once in my life and that was enough for me. Being the outspoken woman that I am I punched the guy in the stomach right there...yes, he was very surprised and moved on but I made sure everyone on the train knew what he was up to.
What have your experiences on a subway been? Do you make it a point to bring people like this to the attention of others or just let them keep on going?

I have never had that experience as we have no subways here butg we do have buses that get so crowded you can hardly breath. they take on so many people that some are standing on the steps inside the bus. I have been groped while standing in the aisle holding onto a strap and thats most humilating.

I am originally from Brooklyn, NY & yes I used to take the subways all the time. I hated it though. They were always dirty, overcrowded, & alot of the stations where you had to wait for the train were open with nothing to sheild you from the cold & wind in the winter. I now live in Indiana with my husband & although I miss alot of things about New York, the subway system is NOT one of them. thumbdown

I've never had the pleasure of riding NY's subway system but from the sounds of it their no different than here in Boston....nothing but a nasty experience.

I tried when i was in Japan.. it is pretty scary because that is something that im not use to I rather be on a real car and have a long drive than a subway but it is a fun joyride

I've ridden in subways in New York City, but not very often. Once I was fortunate that there were very few people on - though my friend and I were a little uncomfortable that there was only a shady looking person in the same section as us.*shudder*

I feel so grody after being on a subway. I would not tolerate anyone willfully putting their hands on me.
