Head for the Last Car
Throughout my travels, I’ve taken more than my fair share of trains (especially the Metro-North between Grand Central Station and Connecticut) and subways—and I’ve learned that you’ll almost always find more room in the last car. Just walk a little farther to the back of the train and you won’t need to be squeezed in like a sardine.

Hi Johnny,
“…a little FARTHER back…” Farther is used for distance, further for everything else.
Merry Christmas from a fellow Manhattan Beachite.

I usually take the last car when I travel by train especially if it’s a little crowded. Thanks for the tip.
