The meme opens with a text question: 'What are some stereotypes that drive you insane?', followed by a comment from an autistic person stating they hate the common stereotype that all autistic people are obsessed with trains, adding that they personally find trains loud and boring. The middle section features a real photograph of Darius McCollum, an autistic man known for his fascination with New York public transit, wearing a train conductor's uniform while sitting in what appears to be a formal courtroom or hearing setting. The bottom text explains McCollum's story: he repeatedly took unauthorized control of New York subway trains and buses, memorized all transit routes and procedures, and often operated the vehicles correctly enough that passengers did not notice anything amiss. The joke lies in the humorous irony that McCollum perfectly fits the stereotype the prior comment was pushing back against, creating a funny contrast between individual experience and widely known public examples of the stereotype.

This candid photograph is shot from the front of a public subway or light rail car, looking down the central aisle between two rows of blue patterned seats. Four passengers are arranged in an almost perfectly symmetrical, mirror-like formation across the two sides of the aisle: on the left front, a Black woman in a red work polo shirt sits looking down at her phone while holding another device to her ear, with a Black man in a gray hoodie behind her also using his phone. On the right front, a young white person in a black baseball cap and black t-shirt sits looking down at their phone, with a person in a red hoodie behind them holding a hand over their face. The near-identical positioning and actions of the pairs of passengers makes the scene look like a mirror reflection at first glance, which is the core humorous joke of the meme paired with the title 'Never Forget'.

This is a humorous single-panel meme featuring a candid photo taken inside a public subway car. A woman with long dark hair, wearing all black clothing, and bearing an uncanny, nearly identical resemblance to the Mona Lisa from Leonardo da Vinci's iconic Renaissance painting is seated on a subway seat, displaying the exact same subtle, ambiguous smile the artwork is famous for. White overlaid text at the bottom of the image reads 'She escaped the f***ing museum??', joking that the famous painting's subject has somehow come to life and left the art museum where the Mona Lisa is displayed to ride public transit.

Wait, did the Mona Lisa escape the museum?

This is a two-panel meme using the classic angry Tom Cat template from the *Tom and Jerry* animated series. The top panel shows an open book with text stating a common-sense argument: "If you want people to stop driving everywhere, train tickets need to be considerably cheaper than cars". The bottom panel shows Tom glowing bright red with fury, steam rising from his head as he holds the same book, with the label "Deutsche Bahn" placed over him. The joke implies the German national railway operator Deutsche Bahn is enraged by this logical statement, referencing widespread public criticism that Deutsche Bahn's ticket prices are far too high to compete with private car travel, plus its well-documented reputation for poor reliability as referenced in the original post's title.

This meme uses a modified illustration of Spider-Man clinging to the front of a bus to humorously exaggerate a relatable awkward social scenario. The scene is recontextualized with text captions to depict the anxiety of being on a crowded bus: the crowd pushes the narrator toward a girl, and the narrator (represented by Spider-Man) strains with extreme effort to avoid touching her—only for the girl to end up standing right next to the narrator (the young boy at the bottom of the image). The meme leans into the absurdity of overreacting to mundane social discomfort, using Spider-Man's heroic, strenuous bus-stopping pose as a metaphor for the narrator's intense struggle to avoid awkward physical contact.
