Furthermore, defendant's standard request that plaintiff leave the train at the end of the line did not assume a special duty toward him, even though plaintiff appeared visibly intoxicated at the time ( see Serrano v City of New York, 150 AD2d 297; see also LaLonde v Hurteau, 239 AD2d 858, lv denied 90 NY2d 807).
