I wouldn't do it on the subway. I'd call it extremely dangerous.

For me, moving between cars is part of the "train experience". I would like to do it on the NYC subway next month, but I don't want to get a citation.

I believe it says or suggests that on NJT, but nobody actually enforces it except minityrants. I assume its the same on MTA commuter trains. You can move between the cars in a married pair, otherwise you couldn't get to the bathroom.
You go to from car to car when train is STOPPED.
Dude, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

Meaning you can't go to the bathroom without your spouse? What do single people do?

Then there are systems like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taipei where the train is effectively open-bodied from end to end. There are no doors between cars, only an open area about 3/4 the width of the car body.
In a lightly loaded train (seldom happens) you can look the length of the train and watch the bending around curves and through the vertical curves. Gives you something like what would be the sensation of riding in the belly of a snake.

In Barcelona, the new trains were configured in this manner - it was a pretty neat ride!

NYCT Subway, moving between cars is illegal.
Commuter rail, it is allowed. However, if you are on a LIRR/MNCRR electric MU, and you reach the door between 2 married pairs, be VERY careful. There is no protection, and you are actually out in the elements. Also, electric MU's end doors are very hard to open because of the higher pressure between cars. Car end doors may have 8 handles, just open one, the door will open.
On both LIRR and MNCR the doors between cars, are marked " moving between cars when train is moving is prohibited "
