My watch is adding steps while I'm riding the subway...apparently the bounce of the subway is causing this. I can view the step counter tick off more steps as I am sitting. The additional number of steps is. not insignificant. About 300 to 500 additional steps for a 20 minute subway ride.
I've only just started using Fitbit again after a couple years hiatus, so this may have a better fix, but, historically, the solution is to log an "inactive" workout during your commute. (This may be more convenient for you on a subway than it was for me in my car.) Back when I was doing this, it was also an easy way to knock out all of your weekly fitness goals by sitting.

I get the workaround, but this is a still extant technical issue that makes 0 sense when Google Maps knows full well I'm riding a train down the tracks.
Why let Fitbit off the hook when it thinks I'm slowly waddling down the red line at 20mph?
