I've never considered myself on the spectrum - well, maybe just a little bit. I find the subway to be soothing. The thing I hate most about buses, which run perfectly on schedule as well here, is that sometimes their route changes. The fact of realizing a route may change just blows my gaskets.

Not only that but they're incredibly janky with the constant stop start, stop start and the hard turns. Getting on a crowded bus can be a miserable experience, trains are a lot more consistent with their accelerations and don't have 90 degree turns.

  Janky indeed! I was watching a show about the NY Subway and its antiquated system that operates the entire thing, much of it manually operated. The documentary was about a British program manager who travels the world fixing public transportation. He's bring NYC subway from the early 20th century into the 21st century. It's the equivalent of a modern city's telephone system still using switchboard operators instead touch tone phones, fiber optics and a digital switching system.

    Ha, I watched that with my Mom. Seems like a nice fellow, I wish him the best of luck. I know the old system's antiquated but until we focus serious cash on the security of our infrastructure as a nation, I'm not looking forward to hackable trains.
