From dinosaurs to Superman (in his not-so-best-moment), NYC is arguably the best place to sight see on this ghoulish holiday.

We gathered up the best images that sum up what it's like to take a ride on NYC's busiest public transportation method.

Take a look at the collection below. Have a pic you want to share with us? Tag your photos with #abc7NY on Instagram and Twitter.
