I'm not a New Yorker, so can't say. But I agree. With transit I constantly see Amtrak thrown in the mix. But as I was trying to say it doesn't add up.

- emodendroket 10y agoWell I don't know where you live, but long-distance commuter trains are common enough in US cities (at least in the Northeast corridor) and they don't have people packed in like sardines.
- soulnothing 10y agoThe sardines remark was more for public transit. The long distance trains (Amtrak) are the opposite. Overly roomy for a daily commute.
- emodendroket 10y agoWhat I'm saying is that commuter rail is yet a third category that you're ignoring. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_commuter_rail_systems_by_ridership https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_commuter...
- soulnothing 10y agoAh okay I usually hear to that referenced as public transit. Septa, on that list, is the public transit I was referring too. The trains on peak times are often packed.
