as someone who has never been to NY, im surprised there are 5 free seats but people are standing.

If you stand you don't have to sit next to anybody

Or in anything

Should I sit in the vomit or urine? Mebbe I'll just stand until 86th street

And a lot of the time you're only on the train for 5 mins or less.

You'll notice that the 4s are all hugging the exits -- it's the most lucrative spot. Yes, you have to squeeze in when the doors open to let people in and out, but you also get to gtfo first. You're not subject to the Showtime kids doing flips, when the Mariachi band walks in you can run out to another car at the next stop, and you aren't in the urination/defecation areas. Sitting is a trap.
