this isn’t true people only fight with saxophones in the nyc subway
How are people upvoting this alt-right trash?
Here’s another comic by the same author
Too bad to hear about the author. I found the comic itself to be kind of funny in an absurd way.
But know that I know what his intentions are it is time to give the author the “stone toss” treatment.
That Trump comic is still kinda funny in a lolsob kind-of way. Like, I could imagine someone who does call themselves woke making it as well. It’s still saying a criminal got to be president, so…
A lot of humour is structurally the same for left and right (we’re all human, despite how inhuman the other can seem), it’s just a matter of how you meant it. A lefty making this joke might have an anti-consumer angle, while a
dipshitright wing comedian would be criticising public transit or probably just being racist.
That’s not Trump… That’s… Giorno Giovanna?
Well, from my perspective:
- Comic is funny
- I have no context of who the author is or what the author did
- It makes me feel superior about the Hong Kong mass transit railway system
Your ignorance shows. You’d have more luck catching a good fight at a redneck bar for free than on the NYC subway.
Yeah did a little research
Using the available data, the rate of reported violent crime on the NYC subway in 2024 is approximately 0.79 violent crimes per million riders.

Perhaps the HK mass transit system is safer, but I’m guessing not by that much, considering the ridership and crime rates, especially because they don’t report specific crime rates for mass transit that I could find but rather generic crime statistics

Gotta love this comic with subtle tones that “public transportation is dangerous” and this comment with “Chinese public transportation isn’t dangerous.”
This feels like the scared, naive, suburbanite’s take on cities and public transit. Like, do you really think a system with 3 million daily riders has constant brawls?
Helsinki subway is much, much smaller and this joke would work for it. Sometimes you see wild stuff in there
It’s a comic from WokelyCorrect. I’d be surprised if they even know how to ride transit.
Drawing comics at night to fight wokeness
I thought it was a sarcastic comics regarding what’s happening in Washington :o
Oof I didn’t even notice the author
I like making people laugh & I dislike Woke politics. So I made these comics for us to laugh at Woke politics together and push back against its stupidities. I will stop mocking when it leaves us alone.
Author seems to be an absolute idiot.
But the TV said it does! I better go get in my big emotional support truck and sit in traffic instead!
Yeah, I ride it every day and I’ve never actually seen a fight in my car.
Constant brawls no, but I’d never say the NYC subways are boring.
I have had many, many, uneventful subway rides. Most of the time it’s just people sitting and/or standing quietly. Boring is a little more subjective- someone might find people watching interesting, but even then sometimes off-peak it can be sparsely populated. Sitting in quiet non-interaction for 25 minutes with an old lady reading, a middle aged guy dozing, and another person silently looking at their phone isn’t very exciting, but that’s a lot of rides.
Like, this is people’s daily commute. It’s not the warriors. It’s not whatever wacky video surfaced on youtube. Most of the time it’s just transit, and good transit is pretty boring.
I’ve only ridden NYC subways a few handfuls of times but I never saw anything strange 🤷
I gather that the 80s was a whole different scene in the NYC subway. Plenty of pics out there!
Only time I was there was in '92 and it was nice enough.
Yeah, I’m not old enough to have experienced the city in the 70s and 80s. I’ve heard stories but it’s hard to say how credible some of them are, but I believe the city is a lot nicer than it was back then.
Like, Bryant Park is a nice patch of green in Manhattan. They do yoga classes there. There’s a holiday market. People used to call it needle park because it had some a drug user problem.
Places change.
Having ridden the subway for like 20 years, I’m a little pissed that I didn’t get any shows for my ticket price.
No showtime?
Or I could pay $5,000 for shitty seats and see a UFC fight at the Whitehouse.
Pay $50,000 and you decide who wins the fight
Damn the only thing unbelievable in this comic is the cost of riding the subway. Is it really that cheap?
Subway and most buses $2.90 a ride, and if you use the same payment method it has a maximum combined fare of $34 per week. That means that if you pay for 12 rides, any more rides are free within a 7 day period.
Careful, this comic author might figure out a way to make a new comic about how good public transportation is bad for society
Dang that’s awesome. If I were in NY I feel like I would exceed that 12 ride limit & get free rides within the first day or two hahaha.
I used to live in Japan (in the rural north) and for a time I was also in Tokyo. Their public transportation infrastructure, while intimidating and maze-like (bullet/local trains, buses, the metro) I quickly fell in love how convenient and smoothly things ran. With a suica pass I would actually get on trains with no real destination just to enjoy the ride hahaha (and the a/c).
Also remember that the subway is a flat fare no matter how long you ride. You can go from Coney Island to the Bronx on that $2.90. and back again. You only pay again if you exit.
Eh. The only times I ever had trouble navigating Japan’s public transit were finding bus stops, Shinjuku Station, and one (actually two) random stations in between Kyoto and Osaka. Busses are shit the world around (and most of the highway buses double up with train stations where an attendant will gladly explain what random corner to stand in), Shinjuku Station is an eldritch horror that NOBODY can navigate, and Google to this day does not realize those are two different stations and they have a lot of duplicated named lines.
But yeah. People very much underestimate US public transit… inside cities (and on the East Coast). Most I have used take the approach that if you use one system enough times in a day/month (via a card or single credit card) it just auto-buys you an unlimited pass for that period.
I’ve stayed in Shinjuku for probably closer to two or three months than not over the past decade. LOVE the area and never have a problem finding my train no matter how out of it I am. But I have also NEVER managed to actually find the exit I want and invariably end up just exiting out to the street and walking around the station to get where I want to go. And locals I know have had similar complaints where they either luck out and their train drops them off in front of the exit they want or they just pretend they are going shopping before going home.
I only know Shinjuku from anime/manga. When a certain arc gets animated, I expect it’ll be wild for a while. If the hype stays strong anyway.
That’s not bad at all. I’ve only got buses around me: 2.50/ride with 90min to transfer to any other bus free. Buying two tickets in a day automatically becomes a day pass (unlimited rides for the day). Or there’s a 30day pass you can buy for $70
Then there’s discounts for students and seniors.
and the PATH is $3
(for people that don’t live here, the path is basically another subway system that serves Manhattan and North Jersey.

All I see here is someone who doesn’t ride transit.
Throw $7 on the ground for a boost.
Give’im the ole dick twist!
Coming soon to the front lawn of the highest elected official in the US
$50,000 ticket though for the real grift.
