By far the worst seat on the NYC subway is the one directly underneath the subway map.  I was sitting in one of those seats the other day when a guy leaned in to read the map, 3-inches from my face, for what seemed like 10 minutes.  There has to be a better place for this.  I mean, the MTA can be creative enough to print subway maps on wallets, shower curtains, sweat socks, and earrings.  But they can’t think of a better place for it on the train?  Anything is better than directly behind my head.
