This May Be the Largest Item Ever Carried On a NYC Subway

Every subway rider that's ever schlepped massive bags to JFK on the A train, or juggled holiday shopping on a packed 4 train, raise a glass to this man. He was spotted maneuvering dozens of balloons onto the 1 train at Chambers Street Wednesday afternoon. 

He attempted to board the 2 train, reported WNYC's Gisele Regatao, but he was unable to fit his bag into the car. 

 

He piloted his bag of balloons through the doorway and into a mercifully empty 1 train.

Success! And his fellow passengers were typically unbothered. 

So many questions remain unanswered. How did he get the balloons into the subway station? What if he has to make deliveries on the A train at rush hour? We'll never know, but the commuters of New York stand in awe.
