Everyone takes the subway in a big city; either for work commitments, to move around the city center without wanting to take the car, or even going to school; if you have the opportunity, using this excellent and comfortable means of public transport can have its advantages; but also some disadvantages which can have their funny side. We wanted to collect for you some of the most hilarious photographic shots by regular subway commuters who have had the "good fortune" to come across truly weird, eccentric or down right strange individuals who make us think twice if we can actually believe our eyes. They certainly went to great lengths to be noticed by ordinary people, didn't they?

Definitely a very different type of music from what we are used to listening to when we are on the subway or on the platform, waiting for the train: we are sure that this harp produces melodious and relaxing notes!
