The grit, danger and occasional glamour of life on New York's subway in the 1970s and 80s has been captured in a set of photographs.Acclaimed photographer Willy Spiller, who lives in Zurich, Switzerland, captured the threatening, violent, funny and delightful contradictions of the city's graffiti-ridden transport network from 1977 to 1984.From a man with a boombox standing perilously close to the tracks to schoolgirls slumped in their seats while chatting idly, the images depict the raw energy of the city, evoking classic films like The Warriors and Wild Style.
