- yodsanklai 8y agoYou have also a good public transportation system in New York. There are many big cities with much worse traffic than NYC but there are simply no alternatives to cars.

- astura 8y agoIt's a paraphrasing a joke from Futurama[1]. That joke itself being a play on a classic "Yogi-isms." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Berra#%22Yogi-isms%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Berra#%22Yogi-isms%22 >On why he no longer went to Rigazzi's, a St. Louis restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." [1] https://theinfosphere.org/Transcript:The_Lesser_of_Two_Evils https://theinfosphere.org/Transcript:The_Lesser_of_Two_Evils

- briandear 8y agoDo NYC subway stops all have functioning elevators yet? If not, then it’s not a “good” system. It’s a good system for single adults carrying their Manhattan Portage bag. Not so good for kids in strollers, carrying groceries for a family, people in wheelchairs, elderly with difficulties on stairs. It’s not a “good” system at all. Zurich’s trams — now that is a good system.
- nogridbag 8y agoI've never been in a NYC elevator that didn't smell like human waste. Even if all stations had elevators, the immense heat on the platforms seems dangerous for babies and seniors. I always bring a fan to keep the little one cool. Too bad we can't seem to elect someone that will fix our subways.
