Do my sneakers have the world's worst tread, or have (underground) subway station floors gotten more slippery on rainy days? I don't remember it being that bad before, but lately it feels like I'm on an ice rink.

I definitely had to watch my step going down to PATCO stations back when I had a commute. I don't think it's new.

i feel like the tiles at 15th street get a layer of fog or humidity or other moisture which makes them look dry but they're actually slippery as hell. i know they're easier to clean than cement but like...we need some tread.

Last week it felt like my soles were covered in oil, even on the regional rail
