| the station in Sintra, Portugal KW |
Who's awake enough at 3 a.m. to be riding the subway? Why would anyone need to be riding the subway at 3 a.m.? Several writers have taken it upon themselves to find out ~ in Barcelona ("Like the rest of Spain, Barcelona has a late-night culture. Even at 3am
people are yet to arrive at their Saturday night destination."), Berlin ("The buzz of the ventilation system is audible, as is the hum of the
escalator and the tinkle of money spilling from a ticket machine. These
are sounds you don’t hear during the day."), Sydney ("Boarding the train at 3am at the Star, an all-night casino that looms
large over Pyrmont, a young, tattooed couple are bickering; he has
gambled away all their cash and she is hungry."), New York ("At 3am no one seems to know where they are going, and they’re not afraid
to admit it: there’s a small-hours subway solidarity in the messy,
weird, New York night."), and Copenhagen ("Getting on the train at Nørreport, I’m joined by a group of seven young
women. One of them sits next to the sleeping man, takes a plastic bag
out of her neon-green backpack and empties the contents—buckets of
confetti—into his lap.") (story, GIFs, photos): http://www.theguardian.com/cities/ng-interactive/2015/dec/31/night-riders-metro-3am-barcelona-berlin-sydney-new-york-copenhagen?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+USA+-+Version+CB+header&utm_term=147009&subid=15193625&CMP=ema_565b
