Peak Hours is the time when masses of people in the city get lost in the preset channels. During peak hours, in the endless labyrinth of the metro, people don’t have time for their surroundings. Almost no one would find their way. Time flows by as people stream through the tunnels, sometimes in one direction, sometimes splitting into a few, following the existing channels. Are they blind, or instinctive?
