That empty subway car is empty for a reason

Scene: your mostly crowded subway screeches into the station, and, could it be?, a car with hella empty seats speeds by you, so you hurry to reach it before its doors open and shut. Well, I'm here to tell you that , like most things, this car is too good to be true. You will step into those doors and an oppressive, un-air-conditioned wall of sticky heat or a horrible stench or the sounds of a crazed rant will hit you at full force, and you will all at once understand why the car is so very unoccupied.
