Dear WMATA, I’d never complain if you offered this during Red Line Delays! The Sleeper Car by Improv Everywhere Comforts NYC Subway Riders
(Source: via Laughing Squid)
What an awesome stunt! Improv Everywhere converted a late night New York City subway car into an unauthorized sleeper car, complete with three beds (video). Pajamas, sleep masks, and earplugs were also provided as part of this unauthorized free service. The Improv Everywhere website says the project took place on the above-ground N train in Astoria, Queens around midnight on a Sunday evening. The Sleeper Car was produced by Improv Everywhere as part of the Guggenheim Museum exhibition stillspotting nyc.

Someone please bring this to Washington, DC and offer a bit of comfort during the endless Redline delays!
Love it!
Ha, that’s awesome. I tried working w/ WMATA with, on April 1st, replacing the maps in a train car with my Spiral map: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thisisbossi/5953580704/
But just as it seemed folk were supportive: their Office of Council turned it down :/
