The PCs get into a regular subway car, filled with run of the mill commuters 
and such.

Everything’s normal, until at one point the lights flicker,blinking off 
entirely for a second or two.  When the lights come back on, the PCs are 
alone in the car.  The subway keeps on going, passing several normal 
stations before the names start becoming unfamiliar.

When the train pulls to a stop, it’s in a dark and unpleasant looking 
station.  Half of the lights are out, and half of those that remain are 
constantly buzzing and flickering.  Only the doors of the PCs subway car 
open, and as soon as they are all out the doors will slam shut and the train 
will begin moving again.

The PCs will find themselves presented with a maze of dark and twisty 
passages, adorned with strange graffiti and stranger ads, for products and 
movies that the PCs have never heard of.

(Ever seen Grant Morrison’s comic book DOOM PATROL?  There’s a bit with one 
of the character traveling into the mind of another, using a subway motif, 
that’s simply lovely.  The various posters that we get to glimpse here and 
there are quite marvelously disturbing.)

They’ll get lost, naturally, but eventually they’ll find themselves at the 
Hub.  It’s a huge room, far bigger than it has any right to be, with a 
ceiling so high that it cannot be seen.  Free-standing lights here and there 
create little pockets of illumination, through which they can see people 
moving.  The room is eerily silent, despite the people who can be seen 
walking about; no one seems to be talking to anyone else.

The Hub is where lost people end up.  None of them intend to find their way 
there, but the place has its way of bringing them.  Getting out again, 
there’s the hard part…if it becomes known that the PCs have a ticket home, 
they’ll be caught in a mob of desperate people, any one of whom would 
cheerfully kill for a ticket back to the real world.
