I love taking the subways in NYC. They have such a rich history and it’s so easy and affordable, but yeah… it’s also incredibly filthy.

I, too, love riding in an antique tin can (likely 50+ years old) driven by a maniac and infested with rats the size of dogs. It is still the best way to get around Manhattan...
I’m no bike zealot like some here, but I make it a point to avoid the subways as much as I can in favor of biking around Manhattan.

The only time I venture underground is when it’s pouring rain.

Even dodging cars, I find it a much less stressful experience than the subways.

I fully understand this isn’t for everyone though. And not just because of cars.
