With its 1960's tiling, low ceilings, narrow platforms and crowded nature, the TTC's Yonge Subway Station during rush hour is enough to make anyone feel claustrophobic. At 5:07pm on a Wednesday, the usual large crowds wait to board as passengers disembark an eastbound train bound for Kennedy with TTC H6 5899 in the lead. Inside the train, it's standing room only for the rest of the trip.

And it wasn't any better for your photographer, who was heading westbound and then south to Toronto's Union Station, where he traded standing armpit to armpit with strangers for one of the last seats on a packed GO Train home.
