Does a rat on the train lead to the worst subway ride ever or the best subway ride ever?

Uladzimir Taukachou captured the scene on an A train to Far Rockaway this week when a rat darting around the subway car scared passengers, and their screams in turn scared the rat.

Everyone jumped up on their seats to escape the rat, which then ran out of the subway car at the next stop.

One more thing for the New York Times to add to its report on why the subways are so bad.
