    If you're on the escalator, PLEASE walk forward. Many trains have been missed because people simply don't pay attention.

    Just outside of the turnstiles, the panhandlers will wait for you, pretending they need money to buy their fare. Keep walking.

    During the winter months, the heaters get so crowded that it's the perfect place for pickpockets. Mind your phones!
