I like the NYC subway for a lot of reasons, but man is it in a bad state. Chambers street station for example. Last time I was there it looked similar, if not worse than in this 2015 photo [1]. Comparing it to the second busiest metro in the Americas, it's crazy how Mexico City Metro, which isn't always "nice", is still so much nicer and much cheaper [2]. Even comparing it to cities with more similar economies— systems in London/Paris are cheaper per ride, but also much nicer.
