I am former resident of Moscow and a current resident of New York. If I could take one thing out of Moscow and bring to NYC it would be the subway. An impossible dream, but what we actually can have though is expanding our NYC subway at a rate anywhere near Moscows. Moscow added 80 stations to its subway since 2000, including 26 stations on a new circular line [0]. New York added 5 in that time [1].

- p2t2p 9y agoSame here. I've moved to Sydney from Moscow. Boy, do I miss Moscow subway, it works just like teleport. Dive in, dive out in the destination and it's warm in winter and chill in hot summer.
- gspetr 9y agoAnother former resident of Moscow here. I traveled through China recently. Forget Moscow. They got cities which previously had no Subway at all starting out with 20 stations from day one.
