Literally anyone who rides the subway.

It goes back to the days when trains and buses had straps hanging down for standing commuters to hold on to.

I think some conveyances still have them in some areas.

One straphanger down on the left. Looks like a hand on a strap down on the right.

Lots of empty straps.
