1) NYC is the biggest metro system in the world (in terms of number of stations) by a fairly large margin.
2) The MTA is a perpetually underfunded, poorly governed monstrosity whose construction projects cost many times more than any other comparable metro system.
3) The MetroCard still works, as clunky as it occasionally is.
