I had a chance this week to talk to Farone, and as we were talking we realized we had a similar yet very different interpretation of the "my space" conversation.  We both agreed that the subway was a place that we did not enjoy since we were out of our comfort zone.  However, contrasting with Farone's discomfort on late night subway rides, mine occurs at rush hour.  Having to squish onto a subway during the busiest hours is absolutely terrifying for me.  I really dislike having to be sandwiched in between people on all angles, not to mention the stop and go motions of the train.
