A heatwave has exposed the extreme temperatures lurking in New York City’s subway system, with some stations reaching scorching levels that pose serious health risks for commuters. An activist has launched a campaign to highlight the most unbearable stations, dubbing them with alarming temperature labels like "132F" to draw attention to the lack of ventilation and cooling measures. The initiative comes as city officials face growing pressure to address the issue amid rising concerns over public safety during extreme weather. Passengers describe conditions inside some stations as nearly unbearable, raising questions about infrastructure and emergency preparedness.
