These 10 Poignant Photos Show Just How Empty NYC Subway Stations Are Right Now
Probably as empty as they've ever been
People seem to be following the stay-at-home orders in NYC (which have just been extended), if photos are any indication.
Pictures of rush hours spots and livestreams from tourist hotspots make the once bustling NYC seem like a ghost town. And subway stations aren’t excluded. With only essential workers traveling each day and the system shutting down for overnight cleaning, the stations once stuffed with daily commuters are now empty.

Take a look below (we threw in a few videos as well to really get the effect):
