Do you like to cook? If so then you know the smell that onions make as they brown in the skillet. Smells great and unmistakeable. Nothing has that smell except a cab driver that has neglected a bath for about a week. I rode back in a cab from LaGuardia recently and was great with a very friendly driver that had an unmistakeable odor. It was so bad that even with the window open and breathing through my mouth it was still unbearable!
The great thing about the train is that you can get up and move cars if there is anything you don't like you just change cars. That can be expensive in a cab since the 1st block costs you $2.25. A number of our posts talk about the joys of the train and I really don't think that we can over emphasize how great the subway is in NYC. Sure you will find your fair share of homeless on the train but you don't have to smell them for long and there is plenty of space to get away.
Avoid the onions and ride the rails!
