We had a "cold wave" here in UK a few weeks ago, the temperature dropped below zero C° for a while. Even I, nordic and with good understanding of dressing for the weather struggled to keep warm. I saw a woman in the tube wearing one of those fluffy fleece pajamas with Paddington bear pattern and thought: actually not a bad idea!

A thermal union suit is an amazing base layer and you can wear it under more flattering clothes

I know, I had to turn on the central heating.

PJs are warm, but not durable and not weather resistant. They'd be a terrible idea anywhere you actually need protection from anything except a cold.

Hopefully the subways aren't that bad, but I've heard some stories... Not sure I'd want PJs being my barrier of choice.

Don't worry, the germs can't survive in the underground. It's too toxic.
