I have had many, many, uneventful subway rides. Most of the time it's just people sitting and/or standing quietly. Boring is a little more subjective- someone might find people watching interesting, but even then sometimes off-peak it can be sparsely populated. Sitting in quiet non-interaction for 25 minutes with an old lady reading, a middle aged guy dozing, and another person silently looking at their phone isn't very exciting, but that's a lot of rides.

Like, this is people's daily commute. It's not the warriors. It's not whatever wacky video surfaced on youtube. Most of the time it's just transit, and good transit is pretty boring.
