* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': In Episode 94, Kaeloo goes around the typical work day of an adult, with Mr. Cat following her around to each location to find new ways to troll her. After Mr. Cat tows her car, Kaeloo takes the subway, only to find that Mr. Cat is on the subway too, and he takes the opportunity to sing loudly and obnoxiously while playing music on a boombox knowing that Kaeloo can't do anything to stop him because it's a public space.

* ''Film/Predator2'' has a subway system that is used in a WretchedHive future UsefulNotes/LosAngeles. It's presented as such a sketchy place to commute that almost everyone is armed with pistols. Unfortunately, this works against everyone when they draw their weapons against gang members trying to rob a man, because The Predator starts hunting the armed passengers.

* Some areas of the Capital Wasteland in ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' are more or less inaccessible from the surface, making traversing the decrepit pre-war metro system a necessity. The problem is that [[OurZombiesAreDifferent hordes of Feral Ghouls]] often inhabit the old tunnels, making traveling through them quite difficult. One follower in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', who is native to the Capital Wasteland, will tell the player that he lost his wife when the sought shelter in the old subway tunnels.

* ''[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Robin]]'': Tim didn't necessarily ''hate'' the Gotham subway system but he definitely complained about having to take it before he had a car in his civilian life and after his dad sold his car since he much preferred driving.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2952 SCP-2952]] is a corgi used as a subway train by TheFairFolk. The "walls" of the subway are covered in racist graffiti, proving even the Fae aren't above vandalism.

* The ''Series/{{Jessie}}'' episode "Take the A Train... I Think?" sees Jessie trying to take the subway to get Emma to Battery Park before it closes so she can finish a social studies report, with Ravi and Zuri tagging along; however, between taking several wrong trains, briefly losing the former two, and an unexpected delay, it's a lot easier said than done. Thankfully, Emma manages to finish her report anyways, using the people of varying cultures she met on the hectic trip as her focal point.

* ''Film/JacobsLadder'' plays this for horror, with Jacob Singer waking up from a nightmare of his time in the UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar. The train is almost totally vacant, and Jacob's destination at Bergen Street is locked up as if the station has been abandoned, forcing him to walk through the train tunnels. Why Bergen Street is inexplicably locked is major spoiler material that spelled out for the audience eventually.

* In the ''Difficult People'' episode "Sweet Tea", Billy declares he's tired of New York, after a subway ride in which a homeless man rants about how gay people go to hell, a gay man sing-argues with him, another woman [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad claims he's appropriating because he's singing a black woman's song]], and finally a performance artist spills crickets on the train.
