20 Photos That Sum Up How F*cking Insane Your Subway Commute Is

The subway is the single greatest confirmation humanity is a dumpster fire burning through every last shred of decency, dignity and self-respect.

Anyone able to avoid the subway grind can enjoy the experience vicariously on CitySubwayCreatures, an Instagram devoted to the savagery of your average subway ride.

Each post is a rare snowflake of depravity, chronicling the grimmest transit scenarios.
