The best transit is generally thought to be in NYC.
- lo_zamoyski 3y agoIn the US? Very likely. And given the status of NYC and the US in the world, even that is embarrassing.
- cpursley 3y agoNYC city transit is shameful vs. even places like Moscow. Americans have no freaking idea.
- Empact 3y agoFun fact: the vast majority of the NYC system was built between 1904 and 1940 when there were several competing subway companies. Since the subway companies were unified in 1940, essentially no new lines have been built. The NYC Subway is a relic from a foregone age, from a time when we built things and wasn’t mired in bureaucracy and carbrained thinking. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_New_York_City_Subway https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_New_York_City...
