Are there any restrictions on carrying luggage on the subway?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, there are certain restrictions on carrying luggage on the subway in New York City. Passengers are allowed to bring large bags, suitcases, and other types of luggage onboard, provided they do not obstruct pathways or cause inconvenience to other commuters. It is recommended to avoid crowded trains during peak hours when navigating with bulky luggage. Additionally, passengers are responsible for their belongings and should ensure they do not pose a safety risk or impede the flow of traffic. While there are no specific weight or size restrictions, using smaller and more manageable bags is preferable for a smoother travel experience. Be mindful of escalator guidelines and elevators to avoid any inconvenience to fellow passengers.
