According to Mike Austin, the E line was the most popular subway for
homeless people in New York City this winter. It never goes above
ground, he says, making it ideal for a warm night of sleep. The B and D
trains were nice, too: You could ride them back and forth all night,
from the Bronx to Brooklyn.
Just be ready for the cops.
It happens quickly. All of a sudden, a late-night subway freezes at the
platform, that brake sound suggesting the train isn't going anywhere
fast—or at least that it will stick around long enough for undercover
NYPD officers (as Austin describes them) to scour each car. For cops,
the line's last stops must make for natural targets: That way, all they
have to do is wait for whoever is sleeping on the train to roll right
in.
