As far as I know they have constant problems in places like NYC with just that, i.e. with underground stuff that no-one knows anything about anymore. > Maybe the infrastructure in some places is better because those places were more concerned with the infrastructure in the first place Probably, yes, but it is easier to make the infrastructure more user-friendly in order to be handled by not perfect administrations than to make those administrations as close to perfect as possible, because the latter case is only present/valid in only some select locations (for example see how NYC is not part of that club of select locations).
