If I had my choice, I'd rather be stuck in a subway. You're underground so it has to be cooler, plus a subway car is not as claustraphobic.

Plus, they should have manually accessible emergency exits.

Not that you'd want to walk along the dark tracks, but if a conductor has a flashlight, you can at least get your ass out of there.

No way! Last August ('02) I was in NYC and rode the revolting subways several times. If there are more than a few people in the cars themselves, it's very warm and sticky despite the a/c. The absolute worst is getting to and from the cars and waiting for the trains. Every minute seems like an hour.

There is NO A/C in those underground tunnels, which are like furnaces with fumes. I recall thinking those subway platforms must be what Hell is truly like because despite very high temps here in SO CAL, like well over 100 degrees, NOTHING could compare to the heat of the subways. In my 54 years I have never been so miserable because of weather. Never......
