Almost a year of pandemic. Who would have imagined it? All the hypotheses about an early end to the virus bit the dust hard. We went from first waves to second, from closures to openings and closures again, and people… circulate. Whether out of need or rebellion, movement never completely stopped, and that means the public tries to protect themselves, or alternatively, some people adopt “solutions” ridiculous enough to be left alone. Beyond reason, the truth is we can't stop seeing these strange filtration techniques…

In the past we have shared several examples of improvised masks and other similar systems, but Subway Creatures takes charge of documenting the most extreme cases, along with other unusual situations in public transportation systems, especially the New York subway. People who improvise, who have fun, who don't know what they're doing. Tired, frustrated people on the verge of exploding. All that and much more you can find on the Instagram profile of Subway Creatures, and in our humble selection below.
