mostly took place on a Santa Monica Blue Bus, but there's a great scene near the end in the LA subway.

"300 people. One squeaky Breda car. A power outage. Will they make it out alive? Watch as Bostonians deal with race issues (yet again) and their true feelings. 'The Opposite of Speed' starring Keanu Reeves opening Thanksgiving 2007."
