What amazed me was the swarms of people walking.
The last time I was in New York there was a problem on the subway. And
people just left the station and walked down the road. Literally down
the road. Not even on the pavement. Just a swarm of people walking down
the middle of the room.

I've seen things approaching that outside Kings Cross when the tube
station has been closed (usually a "security alert") in the morning rush
hour.

It happened all over central London during the tube stikes a couple of years
ago.

Ahh, but they were on the pavement ... in NYC that is the road!
(They also drive on parkways and park on driveways. Odd buggers.)
