Another thing about the NYC subway is that it runs 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Not many metros around the world can make that claim. Living in New York, the amazing thing about the subway system is how they keep it running. It's old and ridiculously complex, and despite what natives say, the MTA by and large does a good job running it. There's no political will to fix it right now. It's going to take trains becoming unsafe or costing so much to keep safe that people eventually notice and start making noise about it, I think.
