If you've ever been on the tube in London, you'll realise how silent and stony-faced everyone is. Me, being the tourist, would look around up and down smiling to myself at funny ads on the walls or would play games by looking at people and seeing whether I can guess what country they're from but people would look back and shoot dagger looks at me for looking at them. I personally find the tube fascinating but Londoners hate going underground.
The funny thing is I heard these teenagers laughing about something and the girl giggled in a hushed voice, "Sssh! We're on the tube! We're not meant to speak on the tube!". Except people do speak on the tube late at night and you have funny, stupid conversations with randoms. I guess that happens around the world on all public transport routes late at night!
What I find really beautiful is when you get a really good busker at the tube station. You're in a cold, dirty environment but the music really warms up the station and I've even seen it melt some of those frosty faces away...

It was a love hate relationship with me and the tube. I loved it when I was trashed and having dumb conversations, or when I was coming from a day of sightseeing and spying on people.
I hated it when I was rushing to get to work and it was jam packed full of people.
But mainly I loved it!
