Sometimes the fastest way to get around town in New York is the subway—even if you are rich and famous. Just ask the Gyllenhaal kids. So why hasn't there been a Tumblr of pictures of celebrities on the subway? Ah, that's more like it.
Most of these you've probably seen before (that video of Keanu Reeves giving up his seat on the Q never gets old), but its nice to have them all in one place. We don't know why, but there is something comforting in knowing that Beyonce! Hugh Jackman! Claire Danes! Anderson Cooper! Tyra Banks! and more famous people have all also had to deal with the particular quirks of the MTA. But what's this, no Steve Buscemi? That guy loves the subway. [h/t FIPS]
