Subway party

[1] Rush hour subway parties aim to spread joy to commuters, whose daily treks into the center of their metropolis can be long, boring or stressful.

Party-goers don costumes, decorate the subway car, bring musical instruments and sometimes the parties have a theme.

[citation needed] In the 1980s, Michael Alig and the Club Kids threw parties on New York City subway trains where they purportedly took the drug ecstasy.

Marine battery powered sound systems roamed the cars along with marching bands and beat boxers.

The MTA expressed several trains to Coney Island end stops where impromptu fire dancers took stage on the beach and many plunged into the ocean.

In 2005, the Toronto Transit Commission declared October "culture month", perhaps inspired by recent subway parties in the city.
