This image depicts the interior of a crowded public transit subway car in Saint-Denis, France. The environment is characterized by utilitarian white seating structures, silver overhead grab handles, and a dark grey floor with light speckling. Artificial lighting illuminates the compartment. In the foreground, a standing female of African descent, with reddish-brown hair and eyeglasses, wears a light beige jacket, brown trousers, dark sneakers, a multi-patterned scarf, and white wired earbuds. She holds a large, transparent plastic bottle of Aquarel brand water in her right hand. To her immediate left, a seated older male with light skin, dressed in a brown jacket and blue jeans, rests his clasped hands on his lap. A black bag is visible beside him. To the standing woman's right, a seated female of African descent wears a brown winter coat, a light-colored scarf, and a multi-colored headwrap while intently viewing a red-cased smartphone. Partially visible in the lower right, another seated female of African descent in a black hooded jacket is also engrossed in a dark-colored smartphone. In the background, approximately 5-7 additional passengers are standing or partially visible. These include males wearing dark jackets, caps, beanies, or puffer vests, and a female in a dark abaya and brown headscarf. Several of these individuals are observed looking down at their personal mobile phones or wearing earbuds. The primary action evident across the scene is individual engagement with smartphones. There are no overt interactions between passengers. Essential objects include multiple smartphones, a large water bottle, various personal bags, eyeglasses, and wired earbuds.
