Many of us are required to use the city subway system at least once in our lives. Whether you live in a populated urban area or not, taking the train is easily one of the most common forms of public transportation across the globe, especially in densely populated cities like Toronto or New York.

That being said, the subway can also be home to a variety of weird and rather disturbing scenes and passengers, which brought to life the special subreddit /r/SubwayCreatures.

This subreddit is a depository for all the weird and unexplained people and scenarios you can apparently encounter on the subway. From odd exotic animals to questionable fashion statements, to entire marching bands just casually strolling in the underground depths of the city.

These images show you the wide variety of people you can find out in the wild and that you can truly expect the unexpected when you're taking your daily commute.
