subway riders
Metro train travelers
Subway riders are people who travel by subway—the underground rail systems in cities like New York, London, or Tokyo.
The term often evokes the shared experience of urban commuting: crowded cars, rush hour crowds, and the unwritten rules of public transit etiquette.
