Experiencing Breathlessness on the Tube: A Common Concern?

Have you ever found yourself feeling a bit overwhelmed while riding the Tube? It’s not just about the packed carriages; many commuters experience a sensation of suffocation that seems to stem from the very air they breathe.

On several occasions, I’ve noticed that after a journey on the underground, it’s not just the crowd that leaves me feeling off-kilter. It’s a strange, almost gritty feeling in my throat, as if I’ve inhaled dust along with my breath. While I understand that being in tunnels filled with rushing trains isn’t the cleanest environment, I can’t help but wonder: is this something others experience too?

Is it just me, or do many people find themselves reflecting on the air quality while traveling beneath the city? If you’ve ever had this sensation, you’re not alone. It raises an interesting question about the urban commuting experience and how it can impact our well-being.
