I love how the NYC subway is quite literally falling apart, by far the most decrepit unsafe looking metro system ive ever been on, and this is where they decide to spend money
The NYC subway is comically loud and bad and dirty, I cringe to think what visitors from places like Tokyo or Hong Kong think when they see it in person for the first time
Not to say there isn’t tons of work to be done but “dingy looking” and ancient =/= unsafe and falling apart. Shit’s still safer than driving a car, for example, and it’s certainly falling apart less than the T in boston
Very true just giving my worthless outsider’s perspective I guess. Almost anything anyone does is safer than driving a car, isn’t it ?
Now compare it to other countries not other US cities.
Lmao. Collapsing fucking empire with good PR.
There’s tons of work to be done to make it a modern system competitive with other nations in terms of technology, cleanliness, speed, etc., but it’s not to the level of unsafe and falling apart. I’m just a little defensive because this is exactly how people who want to gut transit describe it, and its over-sensationalized.
That sucks to hear as someone who’s never been on a subway other than in GTA4. Being able to go from one end of my city to the other without driving sounds nice.
