If you have good subway reading sighting send them in to us at info@grittycity.com, and eventually we'll do another selection.

Also, I'm working on the next subway list: what activities people engage in on the subway (or bus, for that matter). So feel free to send in your contributions to info@grittycity.com. You must have SEEN the activity you tell us about.
