The Subway Chronicles
My three favorites from this collection were Vivian Gornick's, Calvin Trillin's (love his writing from the New Yorker), and Jennifer Toth's (I'd read her work on Tunnel People before and am re-fascinated by it now); I don't think it's coincidental that each of their essays runs under 5 pages long.
I found some of the rest of the pieces to be too technical for my liking, and a few others felt to me as if their authors had scraped together every single story they could think of that had anything to do with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and then shoved them onto pages one after the other with little regard for continuity. I would heartily recommend this book to anybody with a specific interest in subway culture, or the history of NYC transit.
