Rush-hour commuters crowd city streets, wait on a subway platform, and squeeze into a packed train.

Commuters stand and file through crowded subway platforms and stairways during rush hour.

Various commuters and workers move through a dim multi-level subway station, some riding, some chatting, some working.

Workers and dockmen gather around a busy shipyard area with stairs and loading platforms.
